Self-Care Sunday

Unsure of source of image.

So I had to have a look at what self-care Sunday actually is. Basically it is doing all those self-care things on a Sunday. 

Do I do self-care Sunday? Not currently, no. It is an idea that I would like to try though. My Sunday today including taking a 3 hour nap. Is napping self-care? Ha-Ha! I know that I need to start looking after myself better, but given my current living situation, not much self-care is happening. I seem to be having more pain and seem to be doing a lot more than what I had to do with my own child. So yeah, I'm tired. So maybe the nap today was some self-care?

I did dye my hair this morning, so I guess that was another self-care item done. 

I am thinking of having a bath tonight, so that might also be classed as self-care because I love to lay back and just soak in the water. I absolutely love to have a bath, especially a bubble bath with someone rubbing my shoulders. Ha-Ha! 

Here are some suggestions from Google on self-care Sunday ideas. 

1. Skin care routine
2. Read a book
3. Journal your thoughts (well here I am! Lol)
4. Dye your hair
5. Explore your city or town (I love to go to see new places, as I like to 
6. Don't rush your morning wake up (Now this one I like.)
7. Spend some time for yourself. (If only that was possible. Hopefully very soon it will be!)
8. Spend some time in nature (Go for a walk, I love walking and try to do this most days, so this one is an easy one for me!)
9. Move your body. It could be go to the gym or dance. I don't like the gym, but I love to dance so if the music is right, then you can almost guarantee I will be dancing. It is just something that I like to do especially when I need a bit of a pump up. 
10. Get a manicure or pedicure. 

Another suggestion that I did read on Google was to actually meal prep your food for the week. If you are like me and get to the end of the day and can't be bothered cooking much, then this may be a really good idea! I might have to start trying this. 

What do you consider self-care and what do you do to make yourself feel better? Do you have a self-care routine or do you just do what you feel you want to? What things help you prepare your week?

Two Word Check-In - Kmart Journal Entry

Check in with yourself using just two words. How are you doing today? Do it three times throughout the day, and use the space to illustrate your words to reflect the mood. Morning Motivated, Positive Midday Emotional, Blessed Evening Cranky, Pain  Isn't it amazing how by the end of your day, it can be turned around 180 degrees!! So this morning I was motivated and feeling really positive. By the end of today, I am cranky and in so much pain that I am almost about to lose my s**t! But I actually sat down and wrote in my journal for a few hours to try and get some of the frustrations out that I have and it actually felt good to write it all down. Cleansing in a way, I guess. I am trying to learn to write it down and once I have written it down, I am trying to learn to let it go. Yeah, just like Elsa sang! Ha-Ha! So maybe I need to write in there a bit more tonight, to try and get rid of some more frustrations.  I feel like I had a very productive day and now I am in...

One More Light - Linkin Park - Lyrics

                                                                Linkin Park Should've stayed, were there signs, I ignored? Can I help you, not to hurt, anymore? We saw brilliance, when the world, was asleep There are things that we can have, but can't keep If they say Who cares if one more light goes out? In a sky of a million stars It flickers, flickers Who cares when someone's time runs out? If a moment is all we are We're quicker, quicker Who cares if one more light goes out? Well I do The reminders pull the floor from your feet In the kitchen, one more chair than you need oh And you're angry, and you should be, it's not fair Just 'cause you can't see it, doesn't mean it, isn't there If they say Who cares if one more light goes out? In a sky of a million stars It flickers, flickers Wh...

Alcohol And You - Kmart Journal Entry

Do you drink too much? What is the purpose of alcohol in your life? What amazing questions Kmart to ask the Norty Borderline! Ha-Ha! I'd like to say that Jack Daniels plays a pivotable part in my life. Ha-Ha! He's one of my best friends! Ha-Ha!  I do not drink every day and I am probably what is classed as a binge drinker. So I don't drink very often, but when I do I end up wiping myself out and there are many times where I am blacked out by the end of the night. That being said, I would have two big nights in one week maximum and even that is not normal, I can go months without drinking if I don't want to. I also don't drink a little amount and find that I can out drink most women and can keep up with the boys. My parents allowed me to drink from about 15 years old, as we grew up in a city and they didn't want me going to the nightclubs and not being able to handle my alcohol. Them doing that, has ended up being a very costly experience for me. It costs me more...
