Hi everyone
Just thought id start a thread for everyone to share what things they like to do to care for themselves. Remember it can be the simplest things too

What a great idea @outlander
Some of the self care activities I like to do:
Watch my favourite tv show
Have a bath/shower
Play with the dog
Do word finds and jigsaw puzzles
Playing on my ipad
Using my coping box
What do others use on here to care for themselves?
