What aspects of “boring” self-care come easy to you? Which are difficult? #52SmallThings

Not every part of practicing self-care is going to be a breeze and that’s OK. You may excel at remembering to take your medication on time every day while the laundry piles up next to the laundry basket (or vice versa). What comes easier to you? What do you have more difficulty with? Remember, no one person’s journey is going to look the same so there’s no shame here. This is 100% a judgment-free zone!

Bonus: If you have the energy to, cheer on a fellow Mighty in their self-care journey. We’re here to support and lift up one another.

“One thing I can do for myself today is…” #52SmallThings

What’s something you can do for yourself that may not exactly be the most fun but your future self will thank you for it? Maybe it’s planning a couple of meals ahead of time while you have the energy to, or maybe it’s making your bed. Or perhaps it’s carrying around a reusable water bottle (with water in it) to remind you to stay hydrated. What’s one thing you can do for yourself today? Sound off in the comments below!

What's one small thing you're doing for yourself this week? #52SmallThings

It's been hard to take care of myself lately between a #ChronicIllness flare up and struggling with my #MentalHealth (the two affect each other a lot), so this week I'm going to schedule some doctor's appointments I've been putting off to hopefully help with both of those.

^ My Valentine's Day present to myself, actually.

What's #Boringselfcare are you practicing this week?

This weekend, I actually practiced #selfcare (it's a miracle). I did something I've been meaning to do for SO long - and that is buy new underwear. I feel like a brand new human.

What's one thing you're doing for yourself on this #mightymonday ?

I'm giving myself permission to not feel guilty about ordering out since I didn't get a chance to grocery shop this weekend. Would love to hear one thing, big or small, you're doing yourself or plan to do for yourself this week.

Self-Care Day!

Apparently today is #selfcare Day. Have you "celebrated" this holiday yet? I overbooked myself today, but I did ask a friend for help administering my first #shot (have only had #infusions before). So maybe that counts as self-care: asking for help. #Boringselfcare #Medicine #ChronicIllness #Friends
