Hello. Let's talk about self-care. Who practices self-care regularly? I've been making an absolute effort to practice self-care, and it's definitely improving my mood. I floss, meditate, do qigong, breathwork, etc. Yes, flossing is self-care, take care of yo teefs. What does everyone do for self-care? Bonus question: Where else can I post questions besides Ask Lemmy?

I try to, but badly. I feel like I'm on the verge of burning out atm.

I take periodic "nothing days" where I cancel everything and just kinda go with the flow of whatever seems appropriate. Sometimes its just video games, sometimes it turns into 3D printing or art stuff, sometimes I get black out drunk and do the dishes (I'm not a very exciting drunk).

I also treat my sleep apnoea, am trying to cut down on drinking (pretty successful, not cold turkey tho)... idk

I'm proud of you in your journey to cut back on drinking. You got this. Keep fighting. It's a struggle, but it is worth it.
