Alphabet Game - SELF-CARE

[Cassel]

 

In March, our monthly theme is SELF-CARE.

 

Based on the alphabet, can you think of different elements or activities associated with self-care? It could relate to your physical health (like doctor visits or vitamin supplements), your mental health (like a relaxing bubble bath), and more.

 

Let's go!

 

Because I want more people to jump in the game, I will ask to NOT post two consecutive answers (unless there is a 24 hour period without an answer since it could mean we are stuck)

[Minka]

A is for aspirin ... for all the little pains and headaches.

[Bonnie Ballentine]

B = breathe

[Ann Seeber]

C = Cuddle (my cats, as I live alone ;-) )

[Corrie Kinkel]

D = Drink, a nice glas of maybe wine, just a glas of course!

[Bonnie Ballentine]

E = electrolytes

 

I make sure to replenish my electrolytes after activity.

[libera]

F = FUN

 

Carole often says "have fun", so if you play with PSP you have fun, you feel happy and contribute  in this way to "mental health". Do you agree? :-)

[Anne Lamp]

G -  gardening   It can be so relaxing from the winter months when you are planning next years garden to the planting, watering, harvesting, (fighting the critters) and clean up the rest of the year.  Besides it is good exercise taking care of it.

[Bonnie Ballentine]

H = hobbies

[sandra jones]

I -  Indulge ..maybe with some ice cream and a movie when the kids go to sleep.

[Michele]

J = Jigsaw puzzles whether in the flesh or online. I find them to be very relaxing.

[Minka]

K for Kindness. In this world where you can choose to be anything you want ... the two best are kind and honest. They shine on the receiver and reflect back on you in only good ways.

[Bonnie Ballentine]

L = listen to your favorite music

[Corrie Kinkel]

M = Meditate

[Bonnie Ballentine]

N = no...learn to say no

[ANN ADAMS]

O is for ORGANIZE.  Something about organizing  assorted things that have accumulated over a period of time (and you really planned to do it that day!)  seem to relax and refresh a person. It could be in a closet, a drawer or even on your computer.

P = play...outside, board games, make up games...play. We do not stop playing because we grow old. ...we grow old because we stop playing.
