Baths, complete with scrubs and face masks. I used to never pamper myself but omg is it a game changer. Time for quiet meditation and contemplating, Journaling, even burning a candle and resting your eyes for 30 minutes/allowing yourself to sit still while listening to lofi or calming music. Going out into nature when it's nice. Heating pad and reading, watching a relaxing show or listening to a podcast

I’ve gotten into face/skin care. It feels good and it is good for you. I do it myself no professional facials. Some days I need to feel better so I put on a full face of makeup even if I’m going nowhere. Best of luck

πŸ™Œ ❀️ πŸ™ πŸ€— πŸ‘WELL FOR MYSELF IM VERY ARTISTIC AND I WRITE ✍️ POEMS AND DO ANAME CARTOON DRAWINGS!!! I TRY TO KEEP MY MIND BUSY DOING DAILY WORK AROUND MY HOUSE 🏑 BECAUSE IT DOES HELP WITH PAIN, IF YOUR MIND STAYS BUSY. I TAKE IBUPROFEN AND TYLENOL BOTH TOGETHER AND IT WORKS FOR MOST PAIN πŸ˜₯ πŸ‘ πŸ’• πŸ™Œ AND I HAVE MY ROUGH DAYS THOUGH PAIN WHIS. SOMETIMES ONLY MY TRAMADOL 50 MGS WORKS. WHICH IS ONLY A BIT STRONGER. KEEP AN OPEN MIND WITH YOUR DR πŸ‘¨β€βš•οΈβ€™s, IDEAS πŸ’‘ AND DO ALL NECESSARY TESTING DONE βœ…. WEED OUT WHAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM FOR WHAT IS THAT PROBLEM. REMEMBER US AS HUMANS DONT JUST GET PAIN FOR NO RESON GET TO YOUR SOURCE. ✌️
