Re: The Self-care Shed
I started doing walks in lockdown; definitely helps clear the head. I'm glad it helps you too!

Re: The Self-care Shed
Your list is pretty much the same as mine.
I began drinking water a lot as self care, when my children were little. I always gave them their drinks first, then realised how incredibly thirsty I was. I would not touch their juices, but became a real water guzzler. It got me through first 10 years. I was also meditating and doing Tai Chi but sporadically only when I had time. It was the water that was key, and developing the habit of carrying it around with me. I was glad when the gym junkies started doing the same thing. I felt they made it normal. When I grew up drinking water was not a thing, which is totally mad in this country, but there were a lot of dehydrated people running around.
I love this section dealing with Bushfires and Mental Health. Important that Sane recognises the needs as essential to this country.

Re: The Self-care Shed
Hi @Appleblossom @Shaz51 @YouAreNotAlone @Snowie @Appleblossom @nashy and everyone in the self care shed!
Sleep is key self care for me. When I'm distressed/stressed I get caught up with trying to control my external environment and create some order in my space. This desire is really strong when the wider world feels threatening (fires,covid etc.) or my internal landscape feels out of control. But sometimes I don't rest. I'm working on some evening winding down and trying to bookend my day with meditation. Morning routine is in place but I'm trying to establish evening practice.
Thinking of you @Maggie I'm a bit the same with the 'not keeping up' thoughts. Trying to just go with what I can do and accept what I can't. Take care.
