I’m proud that I made time to do some self-aftercare last night. I ate well, drank water, journalled, stayed consciously aware of myself, and didn’t fill up too much of the evening with mindless activity.
This weekend, I played a lot. In ways that were new to me and in a location that is far away from my usual support network. I’m generally bad at taking care of myself in situations like this, but I managed. And I feel better and more capable for it.
