Self Care

Self care is real actively common sense. So I decided to compile a list of ways to care for yourself. My favorites are in bold, and because it's me you know there's going to be some commentary.
1. Drink some cold water
I love drinking water to begin with. But sometimes you literally just need some water and don't realize it.
2. Wash your hands and face.
I wash my face every morning and every night. It's soothing.
3. Make some tea
4. Get a blanket and snuggle it around you.
Literally, do this all the time.
5. Snuggle an animal/stuffed animal.
When I'm at home, I love to cuddle close to my puppy and she loves to cuddle up to me all the time. Let me share a picture of the cutie. Her name is Eleanor or Ellie for short. Here she is cuddling with me.

Here she is wanting some food that's in my hand.

6. Buy your favorite candy.
7. Close your eyes and listen to your favorite song on repeat for 10 minutes.
8. Put on some throwback jams and dance around your room.
9. Make a calming playlist. (Or find on on Spotify or some shit because you're lazy).
10. Call a friend/relative just to say hi and hear someone else's voice.
11. Rewatch cute/funny/happy clips from your favorite TV show/band/movie on YouTube.
12. Scribble really hard with a pen on a blank page and scream. (Overdramatic if you ask me.)
13. Look at the sky/moon/sunset/sunrise/stars
14. Write
15. Watch kitten/puppy/small animal live streams on YouTube
16. Go outside
17. Change your contacts/clean your glasses if you wear those.

23. Brush your teeth.
24. Turn off bright lights and use a lamp instead.
25. Watch a new movie or just any movie you like.
26. Make your bed.
I try to do this every morning, but if I don't have classes I suck at this.
27. Vacuum.
Seriously, like when was the last time you vacuumed your bedroom.
