30-Day-Self-Care-Challenge/ Day 29

Day 29: Look at photos of people, places or things you love.

I looked at some photos of the sea and sea life. It was really relaxing and helped my head not be so noisy. I really wish I had an aquarium but they look like so much work.

TRUE or FALSE: Routines help my mental health.

Let’s talk about routines this week!

Whether we’re waking up at the same time every day, going to school or work, or even making sure we’re eating a certain amount of meals, drinking water, and taking our prescribed medication; routines can help us maintain a level of consistency in our daily lives. The routines we practice can determine how we approach each day as well as affect our mental health.

What are your thoughts on setting daily routines? Do you think they help your mental health? Or does the rigidity increase your anxiety or hyperfixation?

What skill or quality about yourself do you appreciate the most?

Let’s end this week of gratitude reflection with sharing the skills and qualities we appreciate most in ourselves. Are you funny, thoughtful, a musical prodigy, or analytical? Maybe you’re naturally a helper — always looking out for the people or animals around you.

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks says she appreciates how creative and kind she is. 🌸

What life experience are you most grateful for?

When we think about expressing gratitude, it doesn’t have to be limited to just one person, place, or idea that has impacted us — it can also be an entire experience (like a move, a part of your career, a vacation, or even a diagnosis) that’s influenced us in some way.

What experience would you say you’re most thankful for?

Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks says that she's most grateful for starting therapy and volunteering her time to share her mental health story in her city.

TRUE or FALSE: I actively practice gratitude.

Drum roll, please! 🥁 We'll be talking about gratitude this week, Mighties!

What is gratitude you may ask? Gratitude is simply the quality of being thankful or the readiness to show appreciation or return kindness to others. This can look like writing thank you notes, savoring important moments with friends and loved ones, sharing how you feel when you have an impactful experience, or even keeping a gratitude journal.

When you go about your daily life, do you think you actively practice gratitude?

30-Day Self-Challenge: Day 28

I’m sorry there’s been a massive gap in maintaining this challenge. Christmas made me ill and then I didn’t know whether to finish the challenge or not.

In the end, I decided to finish it, so here is Day 28!

Day 28: Take a long bath or shower

I had a long shower last night. I’ve been struggling to shower lately. It’s getting cold in between undressing and showering that makes it worse. And I hate being wet when I’m ill, because I’m so tired and everything is so hard to cope with.

However, when I finally managed to drag myself into the shower, it felt really nice and it did make me feel better. I like long baths too, but I’ve been too anxious for baths lately. #SelfCareChallenge #52SmallThings
