“Not sure I do. I eat a lot of cookie dough when I’m stressed and watch my favorite comedian, does that count?”
Self-care. Not really my jam.
I was taught that any type of caring for myself in any shape or form was incredibly selfish. I obviously know better now, but I do not “practice” it very well as an adult now.
Aromatherapy, meditation, warm baths w/oils & salts, overindulgent skin/hair care, etc… Can’t do none of it. If the male species didn’t annoy the crap outta me; I wish I could be one. It’s hard being a woman. I’m not even girly and I find myself suddenly adding 30min to morning routine now.
Self-care takes many forms for many people I would guess.
For me? I like to sing badly in the car to my favorite Glee hits and when I really need to let it out, Linkin Park and Imagine Dragons. Even some AC/DC. Music is my self-care. Baking is now a close second. More like relaxants in my case.
So when someone irritates me and I wanna commit a crime; I have something to do instead of the time 🙂
