Self-care tips
This is a look at my self-care on Saturday afternoons. I never learned how to take good care of myself when I was a kid and young adult. As an adult child of an alcoholic creating the life I want, I know the importance of self-care. This is a look how I unwind on Saturdays and take good care of myself by doing what is good for my mind and body.
My self-care Saturday looks like this:
-
Berry smoothie for breakfast
Ingredients:
- Frozen organic strawberries, raspberries & blueberries
- Organic honey
- Almond milk
- Almond toppings
-
Gratitude journal.
I jot down everything I’m grateful for in my life. This has been a life changer for me since I started doing it every morning a few months ago. It shapes my mindset for the day.
-
Writing.
-
Hanging out with Rocco, my dog and Larry, my cat.
-
Writing again.
-
Library visit to pick up books for the week.
-
Walking at the park with Rocco.
Parks are treasures.
-
Reading.
-
Walking 5 miles while watching The Office.
-
Face mask.
-
Going to bed at a decent hour.
I hope you are well. May the Saturday that you dream of today be reality one day, if it is not here today. 10 years ago, I didn’t believe I’d have a Saturday like this.
Everything is possible.
