How Have You Loved Yourself Today?

[Mr. Stevens]

So often we deal with sensory issues and other difficulties. It's easy to go through life feeling like you're just barely holding on. I think it can be good, then, to remind ourselves of ways to show ourselves love--in lighthearted and serious ways.

Today I enjoyed a walk in the sun. I made stew for myself while it rained in the morning. I also sang the Happy Days theme Gregorian chant style. All essential...to me

Cleaned the house, made a salad with strawberries, listened to music a lot, and did zero work due Monday.

Similar to both of you above! Organized and rearranged my room, made some lovely soup, and took a walk in the rain. I like listening to the rain on the hood of my jacket. Also wrote to some wonderful forum friends.

I haven't. You know I always thought that loving yourself actually kinda sounds like a euphemism for jerking off.

 

[Rodafina]

I haven't.

You still could. Even if it is night.

Not much time for that if you constantly seek negativity.

You're right. I haven't either, wanted to reorganize my place but I think it scares me. It's night here too, but not necessarily too late indeed

True. I should have made soup and sang a song instead/s Not sure why you make a thread with a question but only accept one type of answer.

I overindulged with lunch and I’m still full, hours later. I think I loved myself a little too much today lol

But I also love myself enough to not obsess about what my body looks like anymore. I look like I love food. So what? I do.

I am watching a dog at my friend’s house this weekend. I realized last night I left my psych meds at my house. I was able to talk another friend into driving me all the way back to my house to grab those, then back to my friend’s house. That was a bit humbling.

Yeah I think going out, cooking and art/singing on a rainy week-end is pretty good. I should have done that, would have been better than sitting on my hands.

OK now that it's officially too late for that, I'm going to organize my place.

I am too buried in school work and projects.

You could try singing that song.

I am having a day where I dont spend any time just staring at Youtube unless I'm having a meal. It's been a bad habit for too long, that. And it doesnt help my anxiety. I'm always telling people, keep DOING things even if they're little things, so... yep, trying to really take my own advice today.

Went for a drive with my father earlier, to go for a walk, sort of. It's still cold here today, so "go for a walk" means "go to the store". So we went there and did the grocery buying and just walked around the store. And then more driving, and then back home. Meal time, and then Minecraft, which I spent like all of yesterday trying to get working (well, the controller, anyway). Today it just works for no reason, so... yeah. That's finally set up on this machine now. 20 minutes in I fell off a cliff and died, so that's off to a good start. Did that for a couple of hours.

Now, a quick checking of the forums, and then I'm gonna... er... DO something. I dont know what but dagnabit I'm gonna go find something. After I check on the dogs. They are good dogs.

Also I'm drinking a lot of water today.

By allowing myself to not be so nice today by doing a couple of April Fools Day pranks this morning, one on a family member of mine out out of state I do not like, and one too on one of my wife's family members in another country not far away who we wish would vanish forever. They both fell for it.

I'm two pieces up in NaPoem? Not sure if that counts.

I got the kayak trailer out checked wheel bearings, fixed an electrical issue. Going to use it to haul our trikes and kayaks to Florida, escaping the mud season. We leave in less than a week.

Throughout my whole life I've been accused of loving myself a bit too much, but hey, one look at this face and you can't not love me.

I stayed up too late and didn't get enough sleep because I was having too much fun talking to nice people.

It would be inappropriate to describe it on this forum.
