Re: tips for self-care
Hi @Marulu1
Self care is such an important part of our lives, especially when we are living with mental illness.
Your suggestion of doing 10 minute blocks is a great one. I am glad you have found something that can help you.
Are there any other types of self care that you do?
I find going for a walk, journaling and watching tv some ways that I self care.

Hi @Marulu1,
This is a great tip! I've heard that we lose some concertation after 20 mins, it's important to refocus around this time. you're strategy would help with this.

Re: tips for self-care
One thing I do is to feed my curiosity. I’m ravenous for new material - books, videos, streaming, museums.
Topics are endless; new recipes, updates on the natural world, tid bits and more about history, art, trails to explore, contemporary thinking and more.
I’m prepared to explore, but keep most thoughts circling in my head (I don’t share most things). And I love being challenged and discovering I might need to think about things differently.
Maybe one of these might be of interest?
