My husband has been in a really bad, negative mood last few days. I feel guilty bc I know he has to process and deal w/ my anger/negatively often and this is a rare thing for him but I am still taking it way personal!

So, instead of looking to him to lift me up like I usually do (prolly too much), I'm trying to think of a small, quick self- adjustments. I say small and quick bc I am buried in mid-term mumbo jumbo and don't have a lot of time to devote to self- care this weekend but feel like I need to devote some.

So, dear Sisters and Brothers of the slightly twisted minds , what are somethings you do for self care? And I am flat broke so I am also looking for ideas that don't cost money lol.

Call an old friend that you haven't talked to in a while (but make sure it is not a Debbie downer)

Coloring books either alone or with kids. You can print cool and intricate designs from the internet. Google "mandalas to color" and you will find some good ones.

Let us know what you do!

Best,
EJ

Bubble bath with smelly candles. You can still study if it's on an e-book. The best thing I did was adopt a dog. She helps me in all my mood swings. Play a quick bejewled game (any repetitive game will work), and color.
