Big ups for warm blanketttsss and sleep lol, vv relatable, Nii buddy, these are super lovely self care ideas!🥰

Continue practicing them okieee!🤗

Ooh and environmental self care xD I was confused too haha, there could be different ways of seeing it, like caring for the environment in general so as you said to reduce plastic waste, plant treats etc, also it could mean to create a safe environment for yourself, where you feel calmer, comforted, supported etc. 🥰

@theboymoana

Hiya Nahoa, I'm so happy to see you around always, trying to participate in different activities too.💛

Could you share what do you find difficult about this one? So Sun friend can try and explain it better.🤗

Described the following a little more, for you:

Physical self-care: (something that makes you feel physically better like a good sleep, exercise, swimming etc)

Mental self-care: (something that makes you feel mentally supported like therapy, talking to listeners etc)

Emotional self-care: (something that makes you feel supported emotionally, like talking about how you feel, journaling, spending time with yourself etc)

Spiritual self-care: (something that makes you feel better spiritually like meditation, listening to spiritual music, attending spiritual gatherings etc)

Intellectual self-care: (something for your amazing brain, to engage in creative or critical thinking, like learning something new, hobbies, reading etc)

Environment self-care: (for the environment we live in, because if we take care of our environment, it'll take care of us also 🥰 this could include everything from saving energy and resources to planting trees etc)

Social self-care: (self care around our connections with others~ through meeting people, having boundaries, volunteering, petting animals etc)

Financial self-care: (activities that make us feel supported financially, like saving more and spending less, not spending on unnecessary things, making a plan for our spending etc)

In general though, we are asking about what all activities and items bring you comfort and are part of your self-care kit.

You can add anything and everything in your self care kit that makes you feel better okiee, from kitties to surfing to squishmallows to everything else you need! 🤗
