ご自愛記録

Maybe it's the typhoon, but my stiff shoulders and headache were really bad, so I took a longer bath than usual. Warming up the body is definitely good, isn't it~ I suddenly realized that the bathing season is about to get even better...😇

Taking a break from alcohol 😇 I realized that when I want to mark an end to things after work, I tend to crave a drink. So, instead of alcohol, I tried switching to plum kelp tea as a substitute drink 🍵 Cold drinks are nice too, but today, a warm cup of tea felt a bit more comforting 😌

My shoulders were really stiff, so I warmed them up. I was just thinking 'ouch, this hurts' but then it suddenly occurred to me, 'maybe I should try warming it up.' Maybe it's because I'm consciously trying to take a little care of myself each day, but I feel like I'm noticing more things like 'if I do this, I'll feel a bit better' ( ˘ω˘ )

I made my bed right after waking up. It's such a small action that I easily forget it, but doing it properly takes less than a minute and makes me feel kinda good🧹

While brewing coffee, I put my phone face down and just zoned out. It's tempting to check messages or look things up in that instant, but I realized I don't need to keep my brain that busy ☕ It's okay to have time where you're not being productive~.

It was sunny for the first time in a while, so I went outside for 5 minutes before starting work to soak up some sun☀ I'm so grateful for the sunshine, truly grateful...! It had been cloudy or rainy for over two weeks, so the clear skies felt great~!

Skipping alcohol () Important…!! It's important for my body…!! I know I should stop, but it's hard to quit 😂 At least I gave my liver a break today 💮

I made my bed right after waking up. It's a small thing, but it feels good to be happy about 'accomplishing it properly' 💮

Even though it's not a memo I need right now, it was bothering me that it was scattered and messy, so I organized it📒 It's about not ignoring my small stresses, the things that 'bother me,' and taking care of them…!

I felt like I wasn't feeling great, so I switched to decaf coffee☕ It's a small thing, but I realized it's also a 'kindness to myself' action💡
