How do you practice self-care?

Few days back I wrote a post on “things that are therapeutic “, thanks to my friends who pinged with suggestions. Love them all and even my dad did comment on my facebook page saying for him watching a train was therapeutic! Isn’t that all self care?

The weekend was busy, hectic and hot! So I decided to have a “snow day” for me and my young man! Yup, on a hot weather day we decided to unwind in an air conditioned home! We had food in the fridge and decided to do nothing! My son’s caseworker visited him and said we deserved this relaxed day 😂!

Unlike a snow day, I was outside the home every hour enjoying the plants (those that have not been touched by my bunnies). I walked a few steps around the garden and took in the heat.

Then it was lunch and a long nap. I think by 4 pm my body was ready to come out of self care zone. My brain started making plans for dinner and when I took the onion out, my young man rushed to my side! Yup, he was ready to cook.

After dinner and around sunset went for a walk which I could have not done on a snow day. Yes, people complain about hot weather but I am fine with the hot weather around sunset time. I have too many bucket list places in India to visit and if I complain about this hot day I can’t make it happen.

My son took a detour on his walk and we found him throwing his empty chips packet in the trash! Felt happy 😀!

That is all for a self care day!
