Title: self care
Post by: Not Alone on January 23, 2020, 02:42:12 AM
Many ideas for self-care. I printed these 101 ideas so that I have more tools.

"Treating your body, mind, and spirit with love and kindness gives you a chance to feel the very things you were denied or didn't know you needed. YOU have a chance to be in control and to be the benefactor of that gift — what a remarkable shift in dynamics from what you've always known. Self-care is active defiance against all who hurt you or trained you to hurt yourself. With every positive affirmation, loving touch, and self-protective act, you strongly reject and defy everything they drilled into you and hoped you'd feel forever. Reclaim your worth. It's YOURS, not theirs."

Oh wow, that list is fantastic. The social media detox is a really good one, I feel so much healthier mentally when I step back from it. Thanks for sharing, notalone.  :)
