I do 12hr shifts, i know your pain. When my mind races, preventing sleep, i play my Uke ?

Nice!

I really enjoy app games like Luminosity and other Brain games. Plus I'm an avid reader. But if really want to treat myself, music, a little privacy and some loud terrible singing, for sure!

My favorite self care activity is a 60 minute massage with hot stones and facial. However it's expensive so I rarely get to.

Early evening stroll (not a power walk; leisurely meander soaking in sunsets) and a low-level red light therapy facial. I'm a bit prissy...

I love naps, long hot bubble baths, hard uphill hikes and a craft beer now and then. While reading a wonderful book.

Sounds great!

@BeccaVa For me, self care is doing what I love first. 🙂

Dark chocolate. Easier to get than weed. Less expensive, too.

Okay now your response makes my response harder cuz I was going to say weed and video games LOL

2

Removing negativity from my life has always been my best self care tactic

2

Early morning walk.

2

Take a long bubble bath with a glass of wine. It's soo relaxing

2

Tell myself that I am awesome.

2

Nap, walk, bike ride

Sleep is elusive for me way too often. After Friday I will be unemployed and plan to catch up on my sleep. I will also go back to taking Yoga classes. I plan to knock down stuff on my to do list, and READ. If I don't take care of me, who will?

It's not easy to try and fool your internal clock. In my experience, you have to commit to the schedule and not try to switch back and forth until your diurnal rhythms adjust, kind of like getting over jet lag.

Definitely taking a nap when possible. Amazingly refreshing.

I thought alcohol was going to keep me young forever.....oh well, I was wrong

@Akfishlady it's a joke ???

Milk Chocolate bar, milk and some netflicks!

Naps for rest when I can get them, walks for relaxation when my body isn't rebelling against me, Netflix for entertainment when I'm in the mood, volunteerism to focus outside myself.

Also 12h night worker. There's not much i can do to makeup for the terrible shift. On top of that I've got school on my days off. The best thing i can do is have a beer and nap.

I teach first graders. Sometimes self care can't wait. Stop everything, sit still, relaxed, deep calm breaths. That has to do.
