Hey hey Mishh, its lovely to see you again, thank youu for sharing such sweet self-care ideas, I love your kit!💛
It's so fascinating how you mentioned Stars for spiritual self care, do you mean stargazing though? How does it make you feel?✨
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
Hey Sun! Hope you're doing okay :) And thanks I'm glad you like it 🤗
Yes stargazing, or images of stars and galaxies in movies or internet. Stargazing is amazing, the more when you have places with a low light smog :)
@mish3l
Oh noes, my apologies for missing this tag earlier, Mishhhh! (':
Yayy I love love love all things starrryyy, shiny, cosmiccyy and well, celestial, to put it in one word haha! xD
Stargazing is absolutely amazing. You're right though, about the need for a clear sky to actually be able to gaze at 'em beautiful stars.🥰
Have you ever sighted any constellations?😮
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou it's okay Sun, I'm sure you have a lot on your plate :)
Yeah I learned the constellations since I was a kid so I know the most common ones and some planet poaitions. The SkyMap Android app is very good to learn them :)
@mish3l
You soooo kind! <3
Ooh I'd have to check it out now, thank you for sharing, and yusss, its great when the school lessons can be *sighted* beautifully in the sky, during the classes they were mostly just boring for me in theory hehe! xD
I remember this website, 100000 stars something, that is an interactive place to virtually gaze at stars and learn so much about the galaxies. It is a pretty cool site! :D

Hey hey @Eddieflwwrboii so nice to meet you and woah, some interesting answers here hehe. What sparked your interest in crystals and vampires?😃
+1000 for stuffed toys!🥰
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
I've always been fascinated by history, specifically the paranormal side of it, so vampires are just a constant interesting thing to study, and crystals are generally just good for meditation and mental cleansing!

@Aputik
So many wonderful ways of incorporating self-care in your life, thank you for sharing!
I like how you mentioned about avoiding plans that involve money and you're not even interested in it. I think, alot of people might relate to this one, as often many of us get swayed by our peers/ people around us in spending on activities/ things/ experiences that we otherwise wouldn't or just don't want to, but ofcourse, telling a no could be hard hehe, I think that's a pretty awesome self-care hack too, "saying no to everything not great for you".
Happy self-caring.😃
Nice
