Self-Care Strategies

[sunflower]

Some fantastic self-care strategies you've listed there!

I especially love your idea of journaling, it's amazing how healing it can be to get those thoughts and emotions out - I might try adding some artwork too, like doodling or painting alongside it as a creative release.

Also, your cooking and food idea is one I frequently turn to. There's something soothing about the whole process: choosing a recipe, gathering ingredients, preparing and then enjoying the fruits of your labour . It's a wonderful sensory experience and definitely calming amidst the chaos of daily life.

These are some great additions to the thread, thanks for sharing!
