Taking care of myself today by getting an early workout this morning, cleaning up around the house, being grateful for the things I have in life, and making some bomb ass street tacos lol.
Dude Brooklyn 99 popped in my head, street meat
Today I’m 33 days sober:) I’m taking care of myself today by napping, relaxing and later cleaning up the kitchen.
I went for a swim earlier and seeing family in a bit.
- spending time with family
- meeting with my sponsor
- putting time into step work
- taking care of my home
- nourishing my body
- reminding myself to keep my own side of the street clean… never mind everyone else’s.
My day only started a few hours ago. But today I had coffee in the morning (have not for at least a week, when drinking and hangover I dont want the coffee), and had some breakfast. I normally never eat in the morning, or that much at all during the day, normally 1 or 2 times a Day. Think to have some breakfast in me, Will do me good.
Today I am taking care of myself by enjoying time relaxing on the screened in porch bird watching, spending some time getting my vitamin D in the sun, cooking nutritious food and spending quality time with my lovely parents.
Today I took care of myself by having zero expectations for the day when I woke up with a headache and I took things slowly, including staying in bed a bit longer, even though I was awake. I sat on the porch and spent time with my Mami and we had some really good conversations. I took a shower, helped in the kitchen, and had a great dinner. I watched a funny show with my parents that we both love and we all laughed out loud together.
Today I’m taking care of myself by reading through some of my old journal entries and TS posts for a reminder of where I’ve come from, some of the thinking patterns that I’ve improved upon and looking at what I can still work on. I need to be prepared to keep up the work when I get back home and back somewhat in isolation, away from my family, at least.
Today Im taking care of my self not drinking, not giving in and drinking my water.
I always forget to say drinking water! And you checked in here, which I should also say is part of taking care of ourselves, I think. Glad to see you here.
Thank you! Today I Just feel that the not drinking is really taking care of my self, hard Day today I love that you made this tread. And thank you so much for your answer to my post in checking in
Hang in there! Hard days come and don’t forget that they go, as well.
Went to a morning AA zoom mtg, had a bit of lunch, researched and brainstormed some ideas for a creative project, now I’m just trying to get myself motivated to drive to pool to swim in the 100° heat.
About to take a botanical illustration class. SO EXCITED!!!
It feels like a good time to revive this post.
I’m taking care of myself today by eating when I feel hungry, taking my time to meditate through some household chores, and listen to some recovery/self-improvement podcasts.
How about you?
I worked out this morning, made sure I had fruit with lunch and took my dog on two walks already
I really lack in this area. But I have recently decided to stop ignoring some health issues I’ve had and go to the doctor. Would that be considered taking care of myself? I should be getting a bunch of test results tomorrow to see what may be going on and what direction we should go in to tackle the issues. That is really the only self care I am doing right now.
I am taking care of myself today by walks outside, eating yummy food, being kind to myself and resting.
I really like this thread Rosa, thank you
Absolutely! That was one of the hardest things for me to do when I stopped drinking. It was scary but I was very glad I finally went to the doctor and made sure I was healthy.
