I somehow missed International Self Care Day a week ago but this article lists 10 things we can do every day to help us take care of ourselves. They really work. Personally, I start most days with a few minutes of meditation (I use the Calm app if anyone wants to give it a try). I then spend an hour or two only reading stories about good news, which actually led me to starting this thread. I peruse inspiremore.com, goodnewsnetwork.org, and notallnewsisbad.com. You can sign up for a daily newsletter from all 3 sites. This helps me start each day in a positive frame of mind. Prior to starting this routine, I would meditate then start reading the national, political and world news of the day and then get on TUG to see what arguments I could get involved in and that would dominate most of my days. I feel so much better mentally since I have changed my routine. I still read about the major news of the day but it takes up a much smaller piece of my time. I sometimes struggle with stress and anxiety so it’s important to me AND my family that I try to take care of my mental self, as well as my physical self. The way I feel and act affects them as much as it does me. Of course, eating healthy and exercise are very important, also, but it has really surprised me how much of a difference changing the way I spend the first hour or two of the day makes in how I feel for the entire day. So, that’s my spiel. Enjoy the article and have a great day!
