We have not had an excellent self-care thread shortly, so let’s focus on — what are your favourite methods to calm down and bask in just a little self-care? In case you’re attempting to “be mild with your self,” what do you do? In anxious intervals, do you might have any rituals to assist your self get via the day? Is it comparable or totally different from issues like “airport guidelines,” i.e., lengthy journey days or anxious intervals at work?
I noticed somebody submit on social media about how, with the election looming, the subsequent 24 hours are “airport guidelines,” noting that energy and cash do not matter, and joking that you can begin ingesting at 10 AM and nobody would query it.
(I do not advise ingesting at 10 AM at work!)
I’ve positively joked with pals about “airport guidelines,” particularly when touring with small children — all of the screentime is A-OK on the airport, proper?
To me I suppose they do imply various things — if I am attempting to be mild with myself I will select yoga as a substitute of a extra strenuous exercise, or simply do stretching (and even higher, get a therapeutic massage). I will attempt to decide meals which can be tasty however good for me, even when they’re primary or repetitive. I would reread a favourite ebook.
In the meantime, for airport guidelines, I can positively get behind the concept energy and cash do not matter, and a drink at any time of the day is ok. (And allll the screentime.) However I am much more more likely to get greasy, sugary issues on the airport than I’m if I am being “mild with myself,” once I’ll most likely fortunately purchase a $25 salad.
In my youthful days I am undecided there was a giant distinction — I distinctly bear in mind driving via McDonalds earlier than an LSAT check to get an enormous bacon and egg sandwich, and there was a extremely anxious work interval the place I ate sweet for breakfast for like two weeks straight. (Hello-Chews for the win!)
Readers, what about you — do you acknowledge “airport guidelines,” and are they the identical or totally different than self-care/being mild with your self kind actions? Has there been a change for you over time in the way you thought of the 2 issues?
