Self-Care Journey Old

Welcome!!

Welcome to the Self-Care Journey section! For the month of February, I'm going to talk about my experience with starting a self-care practice. I realized my biggest goal for 2023 is working on my happiness. I've come up with a theme for each month to create a consistent practice. February is the month of self-care/self-love. I'm going to take you along my journey of how it's going and what's worked for me.

Day 1

February 1, 2023
I'm good at trying to do everything at once and overwhelm myself to the point of not wanting to do something anymore. Instead of doing all my goals at once, I have a focus for each month. To start off the month, I'm going to continue with my morning pages and add in self-care list and habit tracker to keep up with my skin routine and reading. The morning pages help me to clear my mind and focus on the task at hand. The habit tracker will be a creative way to keep up with my skin routine to keep it looking healthy and get back into reading. I hope all these new strategies will help to change my lifestyle as well as outlook on my own life. My self-care list includes listening to my favorite music, taking a bubble bath, reading, looking at inspirational quotes, learning something new, listening to podcasts, being creative, cuddling with Yoda/stuffed animals, try new hobbies, travel, and meditation. Stay tuned to read more about my experience trying to change my lifestyle and increase my happiness. Comment down below your thoughts on self-care and what works for you!

Day 2

Today was a good start to the month! I got back into my morning pages to clear my head to be able to focus on my day. For self -care today, I listened to my favorite music, had a relaxing bath with bubbles and a bath bomb. I have also been working on my self-help book about NVLD which to me is self-care because I'm doing it for myself. Even though it's for an audience, I'm writing it to get my story out there and help others like me. I'm getting tons of help and support on this crazy journey!

Day 3

Started out with the perfect morning, washing my face and getting ready for the day. Started school, then took a break to do my morning pages. I had better focus doing my schoolwork after clearing my head. Tonight, I'm going to do my evening skin-care routine and hopefully do more journaling.

Day 4

Today, being Saturday, I took the time to have a lazy day. Sometimes that's my self-care for the day. I still washed my face, but I spent the in my pajamas, watched a funny show, and did some social media!

Day 5

Today was a barn day! I got to spend time with Yoda after having an overstimulating experience. My favorite part was watching him run free and play with his friend, Lucky! After a productive morning, I went out to lunch with my family, and we spent the evening together which was nice! Perfect end to the day was taking a bath.
