What have you done for yourself today?

Hollylane · 07-06-2012, 07:22 AM

Some of us get a little wrapped up some times in the daily grind (work, home, work, home...rinse and repeat), and doing for others more than we do for ourselves.

So, what have you done for yourself today?

Hollylane · 07-06-2012, 07:23 AM

This morning, I took a few moments before work to look up strengthening exercises for kayaking. It has long been a goal of mine to learn to kayak, and the summer is not getting any younger.

justkim · 07-06-2012, 07:47 AM

What a wonderful idea for a thread. I too get caught up in the day in and day out sameness of my day. Sleep,work,take care of Mimi... rinse repeat... ugh!
For this moment I am doing nothing... well does drinking coffee constitute doing nothing?

Have a great day!

I brushed my teeth.

Replaced my old cell phone, with a new Lucid smart phone. Probably smarter than me actually but we will see. The old one was a good one though. Had it 3 yrs and it never failed me. I never had it cleaned and never had a minutes trouble out of it...um until I dropped it 3 times on the hardwood floor this weekend. So wish me luck with my new toy it will be a learning experience I'm sure.

Today I spent time with the fur kids playing ball before it got to hot to be out,then I gave them a bath and dryed them real good...then Itook me a long cool shower and a nap with my clean fur kids on the bed.

swam for 2 hrs non stop .. now kicking back to some santana ~~

JistMe · 07-06-2012, 03:51 PM

I took myself to the store, and instead of spending every extra cent of my paycheck on fun stuff for the baby, and things for other people, I saved out twenty just for me... and bought myself gesso, and some other things that I have been needing for a long time but doing without. I felt guilty all the way through the cash register, but my artwork will thank me.

JustJo · 07-06-2012, 04:34 PM

Love this thread idea

I'm another who tends to do a lot for others and leave myself off the list...

Today, I ate fish (which was fried...not the healthiest way, but a start), because I'm trying to eat more of it.

I also bought myself a really lovely soft green mid-calf length dress with floral detailing up one leg. All of my clothes are now far too big and shapeless....it's nice to get myself something pretty that fits!

Kenna · 07-06-2012, 07:11 PM

I took a break.
I stood up for myself (against a previous coworker) .
I stood my ground.
I was assertive and behaved like the leader I am. (Assertive took me years to learn)
I walked away with confidence and self worth.
I took another break...
I treated myself to a small bowl of ice cream.

Metro · 07-07-2012, 04:09 AM

Sat on the back porch at my Dad's place (actually, laid back on one of those newfangled recliner style lawn chairs) and just took in the beautiful bug-free weather on a starry night with no thought of lengthy "to do" list intruding on relaxation... paradise!

Kenna · 03-11-2013, 03:06 PM

I let go of something that's been causing me stress... when I let it go, I was able to smile and relax. It was a small something, but the stress it caused was big. When I let it go, I told myself 'if tomorrow holds the news I expect, I will deal with it as it comes...not let the stress win now."

Duchess · 03-11-2013, 03:13 PM

Exfoliated my whole body. I feel terrific!!

03-11-2013, 03:16 PM

Been to a meeting
Phoned another fellowship member for a little support.

Kenna · 03-13-2013, 03:48 PM

no matter how exhausted I am or how tempting the thought ...
rather than going out to eat as the thought hit on my way home that I'd love a big fat cheeseburger, fries and a loaded appetizer from Friendly's...
I came home and lit my grill with mesquite coals to grill lean steak and fresh mushrooms ...instead of fighting traffic and just vegging out on the couch after burger and fries... I'm comfy in my warm pjs, on porch enjoying fresh air ..waiting on the coals and anxious for my yummy dinner that won't make me regret the calories or that bloated feeling ...

it's chilly out but sitting by the flames in my own peaceful space can do wonders...

lusciouskiwi · 03-24-2013, 08:49 PM

I'm off to get a mani and a pedi.

TheMerryFairy · 03-24-2013, 10:57 PM

I took a bubble bath, relaxed with some movies and had some serious down/self-care time.

Now I am indulging in wnigs and chocolate.

Kenna · 06-21-2013, 11:59 PM

I had a long soak in a hot bath after I sprinkled two packs of "soothing bath treatment " and stepped out smelling like oatmeal cookies ...
then I had a glass of Raspberry Verde while enjoying a rare movie night with a buddy ...

Gemme · 06-22-2013, 06:44 PM

I trimmed my bangs, washed my hair and shaved.

Trust me, that's all I was going to be able to do today.
