It was extremely exhausting, but I did remember to pace myself too, self-care comes in many forms.



Lucky for me, I have friends who live in the same road as me, people I've known my whole life, so hanging out with them wasn't too excruciating because I could lounge around if I wanted, chill in the sun if it was more comfortable, or cover myself with a blanket if I felt like it.


But yes, even that got too much at times and I would bail after an hour or so, but I did keep trying, even though it was a tiresome battle...


Afterward I would reward myself for my efforts... Rewards are individual so just choose whatever works for you, as long as its not a destructive reward, its all good!👍


And on the days you KNOW you just absolutely can't, its ok to take a timeout and just be, kind of like a cheat day on a diet... No reason to feel guilty about having a rest day! We all need a break, and who better to give it to us than ourselves.


And I agree that the park was realllly good of you! So pat yourself on the back, or better yet, reward yourself with a nice slice of chocolate cake, or whatever tickles your fancy!


You deserve it!😊
