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...

Jealousy Is A Curse

Why is it that people get jealous? What causes us as humans to be jealous? I decided to look up the definition of jealousy and this is what dictionary.com states: noun, plural jeal·ous·ies for 4. jealous resentment against a rival, a person enjoying success or advantage, etc., or against another's success or advantage itself. mental uneasiness from suspicion or fear of rivalry, unfaithfulness, etc., as in love or aims.vigilance in maintaining or guarding something. a jealous feeling, disposition, state, or mood. I, myself know that I have been jealous before, but I am learning that I don't need to be jealous of anyone. Just because others are more well off than me, doesn't mean that they are actually more better off mentally or spiritually. You don't need money and all the expensive crap to be happy. You create your own happiness from within. Material objects will never make someone truly happy, so why be jealous of those that do have all those material objects. I would...

Observe Nature - Kmart Journal Entry

When did you last see the sunset or sunrise? When did you last go for a bushwalk? When did you last swim in the ocean? Describe these times. What's your favourite place in nature - why? Great questions Kmart Journal! Ha-Ha!  The last time that I watched a sunset or sunrise was the about three mornings when I woke up at 4:40am (not sleeping the best at the moment) and couldn't get back to sleep, so I did get to see the sunrise. It was also very peaceful and I find that now that I am waking up a bit earlier, that I am more productive with my day, especially in the mornings. I am going to try and start to get up earlier. I have always been a bit of a night owl, therefore I find it hard to get to bed early and end up sleeping in later.  I haven't been on a bush walk for quite some time, but I do try to walk my dog every day and I get to walk to the waterfront whenever I want!  I am not that fond of creepy crawlies, so I don't like to do many bush walks in case I see a creep...
