Hi Margarita:

Do you have a group of people you make art with regularly? That sounds so fun. Would you tell us about it? I bet many people are searching for a group to keep them doing creative things regularly.

Cheers,

Amy

HI Amy:

Thank you so much for commenting, even if it’s late. I love hearing about other people’s self-care practices, and I think it inspires the rest of the community here to learn about new things. Thank you.

Amy

Mararita:

A dance video – that sounds so fun! It sounds like you are doing tons of creative things and have a blast with it regularly. Dance party!!

It was more than 5 min for sure & I enjoyed every minute of it!! Hey, I also made absolute sure I listened to music today, which I sometimes forgo doing.

I had sooo much fun doing it even though I’ve done it hundreds of times before just because– I love dancing & I love creating new dance moves out of moves I’m familiar with doing. Bottom line I had a blast!!

Hi Christine:

Wow, I love your description of drifting off to sleep. It sounds so relaxing! Thank you for sharing that image.

Amy

I was sooo tired when I got home from work that I laid down for a few minutes and decided to let all my chores go unfinished and take a nap. I love the calming peacefulness that slowly envelopes you as you begin to drift off – my brain fills with thankfulness for everything I have, as well as appreciation for the day’s smiles and laughs… The ability to achieve a rested and rejuvenated state is such a wonderful treat!

Hi Amy:

Thank you for brining me along on your mindful trip to the playground. I have a beautiful, vivid scene in mind. Thank you for sharing it. And I wonder, where does your 365bookaday project fit into your self-care. Is that work? Self-care? Does it overlap? I find that as I make my business more art based, there are many intersections between work and art for me, redefining those lines is an intriguing process right now.

Cheers,
Amy

Hi Christine!

I think that doing something you have been putting off that will support an important self-care habit sounds just like self-care. You can’t do all that lancing, testing, strapping, and who knows what else plus try to appreciate other stuff. Whew! I hope it was a success, and thanks for sharing it. Welcome to the #selfcarechallenge!

Amy
