I’m slowly learning what self care looks like for me:

• rest
• taking breaks during everything (breaks to rest if I’m active, and breaks to move if I’m being contemplative)
• staycations so I can put “quality brain time” into personal projects
• having a variety of hobbies to suit my pain/activity level
• getting enough water and salt
• letting more things slide
• using my sick leave for PT and doctor’s appointments
• Indulging my senses with fancy lotion
• Listening to the rain and watching the clouds and birds
• relaxing rain cd at night

If I had a bathtub in my apartment this list would include baths!
