For me I don’t listen to harmful comments, or overly rude remarks. If it’s something that will purposefully anger/irritate me I ignore it, and just remind myself I don’t need to be put through this.

Birdwatching. No, really! It's a hobby AND self-care! Okay, I have a monumentally stressful and "essential" job, and that's one way I deal with stress. Birding gets me out of the house and walking, hiking, or exploring new areas, so it has physical benefits, and the mental benefits are awesome as well. Birding requires concentration and opening one's senses, which provides a means of turning off my worries and devoting my entire mind to an awareness of nature. It's almost like meditation, or as close to meditation as I can get, and it really does relieve stress. Plus, it gives me other birders to meet in a friendly way, which makes it a hobby with physical, mental, and social benefits. Beat that for a hobby!

After several therapy sessions for mental health issues and 3 suicide attempts, I started posting positive affirmations on my mirrors to remind myself that I am worthy, beautiful, loved, etc. I read them daily and one the really low days, I read them over and over again. It helps.

̶y̶o̶u̶r̶ ̶m̶o̶m̶ (I’m sorry I had to). In actuality, I go on runs around my neighborhood with my dog. Also, a few years ago I specifically bought a beanbag to just punch and scream into, and it helps me get rid of my pent up anger (at the cost of weird looks from the neighbors) since I’m always angry because of something. Honestly, I bet we all are in this Russia-Ukraine crap. #StandWithUkraine

It's strange, but pastel pink. Wearing pastel pink, pastel pink bedsheets, and pastel pink stuffed animals! Especially bunnies ^^ I know it's probably not considered self-care, but what's weird about me is dark colors, even in small quantities make me sad for some reason, so I basically have to wear pastels!

I eat the best I can 95% of the time. I exercise a lot mountain biking, walking, hiking. I stay away from people! Get 6 to 8 hours of sleep per day although my schedule is all over the clock. I listen to music all the time and do plenty of singing, dancing, and whistling in Solitude. I draw cartoon strips and write in an ongoing saga (by hand). I stay away from drama and set rock solid boundaries for my own safety and peace of mind.

It may sound simple, but I started owning my accomplishments, and praising myself when I deserve it.
Many people beat themselves up when they mess up, but when they do something good, they just brush it off like it doesn't matter. It leaves people with poor self esteem and low confidence.
So now I say, "I did a great job, I'm proud of me!"

Try empty my mind. Don't allow verbal thoughts.
Also, keep my phone permanently on silent. If you need me, text. If you are phoning, it's just an emergency that YOU think is an emergency. If it's work, no, it's not an emergency. If it's life-threatening, well, it will take me at least 30 minutes to get there so you'll be dead by then... so ... no there really is no point to phoning.

I'll run a hot bubble bath with some nice scents, light some candles, and plan on a long relaxing soak with my kindle and a joint....however, my idea of a 'long' soak and how long I can sit in a bath for are two different things so i'm usually out in 10mins - but it's not about the time in it, it's more the mood setting that chills me. Well, that and the joint xd

Pray. When faith seems low, I read Galatians and Ephesians. Faith comes by hearing. Hearing comes by the word of God.
To lift my grief over this messed up world, I look at gem stones and semiprecious stones. I look them up on the web or hold the stones I have. I think of the Lord creating everything. And I marvel at the detail He put into these pretty little stones. He cares more for you and me than we can imagine. And we are more precious to Him than these precious stones are to us. I especially enjoy holding my mother's gems and jewelry. Each piece was a gift. We could never give enough to match her grace. I'll be with her soon enough. Together, we will praise our God beyond the limit of time and space.

I try to write in a diary every night before I go to bed. If it’s been a crappy day, I can rant about it. If it’s been a good day, I congratulate myself or talk about how happy I am. But mostly, I try and write it in a positive way so that if my future self or my future offspring were to read it, they’d be proud of current me for just keeping going. This also helps me to frame negative things in a better light and not to dwell on the crappy stuff. It clears my head of worries before I go to sleep, it’s kind of like free therapy, and often reminds me of things I’d forgotten. If I miss a day or have nothing to say, I’ll write some song lyrics on that page, some quotes, or just decorate the heck out of it with stickers and doodles and stuff because, why the hell not. I’ll add in tickets or leaflets if I’ve been somewhere interesting that day.
If I miss a day or 6, I don’t give myself a hard time about it. I’ve been doing this on and off since I was about 11, and am now mid 30’s. It also feels special because you’re not doing it for anyone else, it’s just for you, and you absolutely do not have to worry about anyone judging you or having different opinions. Which lets you be way more honest with yourself.
Sometimes you start just writing the facts of what happened today in general, and you don’t really realise or clock something was important or note worthy until you’re writing it down, and it really helps you appreciate the little things. Also, if you’re feeling crappy or like you haven’t achieved much recently, you can look back. If you’re feeling like you’ve literally only worked and slept, go through it. Little things like, oh actually, I have done other things. I had a great catch up with so and so on the phone, or, I walked home and the sunset was great / I managed to get that task finished I’ve been putting off / I watched a great movie / I had a great dinner/ so and so made me laugh / I went out and met new people, / saw something cool. Even - hey I got out of bed got dressed today. Sometimes even that is an achievement. I sometimes even push myself a bit further in day to day things because I know that I can then say in my diary that I achieved something. It’s such a small thing and can take as little as like, 10 minutes out of your day. But it absolutely improves my mood, helps remind me I’m doing my best, helps me appreciate the small things, learn from the not so great things, and means that when I’m older, I can look back and remember small victories or things I otherwise may have forgotten. I could not recommend doing this any more highly!

This is such great advice. When I spent days in an ICU waiting room, the staff encouraged me to write a little description of each day in a journal or on a calendar. It helps keep the days from smudging together in your memory. It also helps you to see progress. The small progress is daily. When you look back over a week or two, it helps you see things are improving.

Reading, writing, or journaling.
I especially love reading fantasy, escaping from my world with problems into a different world with even bigger problems has always made me feel better. I've found friends among the characters.
When escaping into an already made world isn't enough, creating one of my own works too! I love spending time with my characters.
And when I'm having meltdowns, I always go straight to my journal, I've had it since I was 8 and its full with all sorts of rambling of some kind.

I save all those pre-paid return envelopes from junk mail . . . after I have 5 - 6, I write letters with my true feelings and post them. Some letters I am angry about something, when I am depressed and need to release I write that, when I love someone but it will never happen I write down all the details, when I am depressed and want to end it then I write how I got to this point. Somebody in the mailroom of these bothersome companies is getting an eye-full!
