A month of treating myself to something nice
20th July, 2023
I want to do something nice for myself everyday for a month. As a result, I'll be updating this post every day with nice things I do for myself. I'm sharing this because I don't want to leave in between feeling discouraged. I'm hoping for warm community support.
End date: 20th Aug, 2023
Thank you in advance!
I'm so proud of you for taking care of your mental health!! also some suggestions for those who are curious:
- do a face mask
- listen to your favorite artist
- buy yourself flowers
- read a book
- sit in the sun and have some "lizard time"
- play with your pet, or visit a shelter
- take yourself on a little date to the bookstore, coffee shop, bakery, etc
- doodle, sketch or draw on some paper-- it doesn't have to be perfect, just make it the way you want it
- take a warm shower or bath
- watch a movie or show you loved from your childhood
- read a book from your childhood
- listen to a podcast
- go touch grass
- put on a pretty dress or clothes and have a photo shoot
- make jewelry
- go to the mall and try on a bunch of clothes, even if you don't buy any
- plant some flowers
I love you all and Jesus loves you too <3

Wow, this is indeed very motivating, good luck for the journey. BTW what you did today
@pandanfe That's soo cool. I have also started reading books and mild exercising to make me feel better
@Banerjee2006
That sounds interesting Banger, reading books and exercising are fun. I myself completed "Verity" by Colleen Hoover recently. It was a nice thriller romantic book. Which book are you currently reading and what kinda exercises do you prefer?
@pandanfe Colleen Hoover !! Seriously ?!? I have started reading "It ends with us" ..
And for the exercises, I have started doing some aerobics 😉😃
@Banerjee2006 Actually, I'm on chapter 20 on that book and it's really good 👍😊
@Banerjee2006
Maybe you won't take long enough to complete that book. Good luck reading it. Don't forget to give me its feedback once you complete the book :P
@Banerjee2006
That sounds fun buddy. I'm glad you enjoyed the book. Are you gonna take break in between before you start another book "It starts with us" or do you directly start other part?
@pandanfe Well yeah, I took like 4 to 5 days break before reading the second part - "It starts with us"
And the good news is - I'm currently on chapter 20 on this book. 😆😆😉😊
@pandanfe
This is such a good idea! We love self-care. I hope this month leaves you feeling relaxed and positive. Some ideas are treating yourself to a nice meal/treat. Buying something nice for yourself is also good!
@Banerjee200 are you talking about the character from the book "It Starts with Us"? I've not read the book but what according to you made Theo standout among all?
@pandanfe
Hi! It's great to see you make this plan to keep track on your feelings every day! It's definitely going to be just a great way for you to be aware of the things that bring positivity and warmth to you among your surroundings! In fact, I think this is a good habit that everyone should at least try to develop to make their lives work better for everyone. It might not be the best way to make your attitude nicer, but it absolutely will work consistently as long as you keep a positive, encouraging, and confident sentiments to the challenges you might face in your lives. I hope you have a nice day!!
