what have you done to nurture yourself today?

[Katie]

I'm holding feelings more tenderly, and am going to get an early night.

[whirlpools]

i hope you sleep well tonight Katie.

i'm not sure what nurturing things i've done today. i suppose i've looked up about social anxiety since i am suffering from it so badly at the moment. i might have a bath and wash my hair later as it's been a while.

i drank a smoothie made out of strawberries, banana and peach. fruit scares me, but it was a lovely smoothie and very healthy. i also got out into the sunshine for a little while.

I started re-reading Susan Cooper's The Dark is Rising series. I do love those books.

[Katie]

I bought myself a large plant for my room, and rearranged things so I can put plants near the window, where they can get enough light.

I have started to create a wall of positive things about me. Found it hard to think of things so asking people to tell me one good thing about me. So now I can look at it when not feeling good

[Katie]

That's a great idea.

I bought myself some candy. It's finals week, I like candy, and I figured I'm worth a treat dangit.

[gracefulsong]

candy and the wall of positive things are great ideas

i took a 2 hr nap. it really helped.

[Katie]

You are indeed worth a treat, Rusty.
