I’ve taken up running, swimming, yoga for physical health lately and for the rest, my mental health depends on an organised time table, a house full of plants that give me love and leaves! My meditation is going from plant to plant and taking care of their needs. That is when I’m most peaceful. And of course, the occasional massage thrown in there. That’s my self care routine. Even amidst a load of work that’s urgent I’ll take the time off to refocus and feel better so I can also work better.
The "house full of plants" speaks to me on a higher level! Recently invested in a half-dozen plants - I underestimated the soothing effect they could have on me (beyond the TikTok plant girl aesthetic aha). Love that you've found your self-care groove!
I love the inclusive massage concept and self-care is definitely political in my mind too! Lately this has looked like taking time off work to get physical therapy and go for long afternoon walks by the beach with Priya Ragu's new album playing in my ears.
