allsortsofbags I had all these grand ideas about what self care was and it seemed really unachievable.

Then someone explained to me that self care isn't big grand things, it's little things like taking the time to have a cup of tea in the sunshine or smiling at yourself in the mirror.

You still have time!

VioletSky I like your the title of your post and I'm so pleased you have done something, two things really, to care for yourself today. I hope your electric blanket brings you comfort and helps you sleep when it arrives.

I'm not doing much self care today as I don't feel I need it just now but I am a big advocate of Self Care.

I do understand how hard it can be for people to remember to care for themselves even in little ways.

Sometimes there just isn't enough time or energy to even think about ways to give self care so thank you for this post, I hope it helps anyone who needs a little nudge.

I've been taking my medication on time. Seems simple but it's hard to remember to take care of myself sometimes.

I also ordered myself an electric blanket today. I struggle to get off to sleep at night with aches and pains and restless legs. A friend lent me one to try out. This is life changing!
