Looking for self-care ideas while being a caregiver and working

Thank you so much for all the tips and ideas everyone 💕

There's physical self care, such as ensuring you get enough rest, eating and hydrating, washing, taking any medications you need etc, and mental/emotional self care, such as doing things you enjoy, socialising etc. The latter is a lot more personal to you; for me, it usually encompasses naps, skincare routines, listening to music and engaging with my interests ♡

I give myself a massage w lotion hands arms face and legs

Reading, watching an episode of a nostalgic show, hugging pillows or a soft toy (might sound childish but I find very effective), colouring, drawing or painting. Really anything that calms your body down.

buy yourself a really nice pillow. I cannot express how much of a difference a single pillow can make

Some good videos, streams or audio books and some crafts including colouring. Just stuff that takes your focus without being stressful

For me taking any time to do something restful that I enjoy feels like self care. So reading, audiobooks/podcasts, a bath, embroidery, video games, etc.

I have some thoughts about this but no brain power to put it into words right now. I'll try to come back and give you some ideas in a day or two 🙂
