…well I haven’t really, but sometimes it sure feels like it, particularly when I have a fibro flair or when there is some new or additional demanding situation, such as having my mum in hospital and needing daily visits. But I’m going to follow Andy’s example, and enjoy my next blissfully relaxing nap!
Do you practice self-care? Do you enjoy a siesta or cat-nap (sorry Andy… dog-nap)? What do you do to recharge your batteries?
Hi... failte (Irish for welcome! and pronounced fall-thhha).
I'm a newbie to blogging, here just over a year, but what a great year it has been!
I've turned the corner to 50 recently and two things become more relevant...time and experiences!
Material possessions are less important! Using time wisely and truly experiencing each day holds a new significance for me!
Much love,
Marie x
Well, I look at picture of Andy! Just getting off my feet, lying down, knees over a pillow and a weighted blanket on my legs… about a half hour whether I sleep or not, I feel better.
Sounds like a great approach Kim. Emma got a weighted blanked a few months ago, found it very helpful and has upgraded to a heavier one just lately and is delighted with her decision. I hadn’t thought of it for myself. I get very restless, painful legs, thanks for the idea!
They are brilliant for RLS, those weighted blankets. I have anxiety too, works great. I’m glad Emma found these blankets. I can’t say enough good things about them. xo~k.
Sitting at the waterfront listening to the waves lapping the shore, enjoying the salty sea breeze on my face with my eyes closed for a few minutes is my relaxing time 😀 & I do it often living at the seaside. So restorative & refreshing.
Blessings,
Jennifer
I practice self-care varies. It can be just a simple 10 minute quiet time, to instead watching a film. Or colouring, to walking out in nature.
Not forgetting playing music and dancing if I feel at times.

Curling up with a good book and a glass of something. Putting phone on silent and just relaxing in the silence.

I have a dog, lures Rexus and often walk with him, because it also expands the space, and I am pleased with your widening the imagination.
