@0B

Aw can relate with overthinking everything but hope you can find something helpful for your financial self care also! As for social self care, I believe the supportive interactions on 7 cups could be counted also. Keep it up!๐Ÿ’›

Hey Sun! Hope you're doing okay :) And thanks I'm glad you like it ๐Ÿค—

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 :)

Oh noes, my apologies for missing this tag earlier, Mishhhh! (':ย 

Yayy I love love love all things starrryyy, shiny, cosmiccyy and well, celestial, to put it in one word haha! xDย 

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.๐Ÿฅฐ

Have you ever sighted any constellations?๐Ÿ˜ฎ

@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 :)

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! xDย 

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

Hiya @Samar19 it's always good to see you around, thank you for sharing your self-care kit with us, looks pretty fantabulous, specially the "cousin hangout" bit~ I feel it's quite underrated how wholesome it can be to hang out with our cousins (the nice ones loooool). And of course, praying for your safety and wellbeing! Happy self-caring! ๐Ÿ’–

@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.๐Ÿ˜ƒ
