This graphic was posted on Twitter under the tag #selfcaresaturday or something. I don't know what the words actually say, but I like the idea of DOING something (and choosing something) in order to rejuvinate and get healthier. This is in contradiction to posts that are like "What self-care thing will you do on your first day off, teachers? Binge netflix? Binge pizza? Binge M&Ms?" (I'm making this up, but the spirit is the same.)
I've been thinking about things that are feeding, nurturing, developing. And building these things into habits. And having a specific set of things that's good/nurturing for YOU. (I'm struggling finding the right word... nurturing, helpful, positive). I think there's a list from Brad Stulberg that's about "10 activites that pay off over time" (reading, exercising, meditation, etc.).
The picture I get from the graphic above is that there might be categories of things and that we should engage in productive, fertilizing things from each category.
It's a different idea (though not necessarily better or worse) than "tracking habits," but here's a graphic and list of daily habits... Freeperiodpress.com has a list of 100 healthy habits to track. The list is broken down into categories like "technology," "sleep," "physical/mental/social health," "work," "finance," "home," "creativity." These habits... (if chosen correctly for a person)... could serve the same purposes. The difference is that it encourages "streaks" and doing specific things daily. Here's a handy calendar.
