Scarleteen is closed for the next two days, so that's Thursday, October 31st (for Halloween) and Friday, November 1st (for Diwali). We'll be back and able to answer your questions on Saturday. Catch you soon!

What have YOU done for self-care lately?

If it doesn't seem to fit anywhere else, this is probably the place for it.

What have YOU done for self-care lately?

Unread post by CaitlinEve »

Life can be very stressful and with everything going on right now in the world, self-care is more important than ever!

So, what's something you've done recently to take care of yourself? It can be anything that makes you feel good, from taking a bubble bath to reading a good book! If you don't have any recent examples, try practicing self-care this week!

I'll start: with all the cold weather in the Midwest, I've been enjoying sitting in front of the space heater with my 3DS! :D

This is such a good question!
The last things I’ve done for self care have both been today actually. I got a good night’s sleep for the first time in days, and put on an ASMR recording to listen to. Those are two of the most relaxing things I can think of, I really should do them more!

This week I've had to attend a crowded, in-person event. This is super out of my normal routine as someone who lives alone and works from home 98% of the time! I tend to get really overstimulated in situations like this, so this year I showed up early to scope out a couple of out-of-the-way nooks that I could escape to if I was feeling overwhelmed and just take a few breaths or read a few pages of my book for a few minutes. It helped SO much!
