Reflect

✨Here are some self-care activities to try this weekend!✨⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Find a creative outlet:🎨⁠⁠
-Doodle or experiment with watercolors⁠⁠
-Write a poem⁠⁠
-Play an instrument or sing along to the radio⁠⁠
⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Get outside:🌳⁠⁠
-Go for a hike⁠⁠
-Take a bike ride on a nearby trail⁠⁠
-Go for a run with a playlist that pumps you up⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Try a breathing exercise:🌬️⁠⁠
-Triangle breathing (equal time on the inhale, hold, and exhale)⁠⁠
-4-7-8 breathing, research shows breathing out slower than the in breath is the most calming. Try a few rounds of in for 4, hold for 7, and out for 8⁠⁠
-Skip the breath holding and just take a few deep "belly breaths". Imagine your belly expanding like a balloon as you breath always to the bottom of your lungs⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Connect with your inner child😜⁠⁠
-Watch a funny video that make you laugh out loud⁠⁠
-Play a game and let yourself connect with the energy you had while playing on the playground as a kid⁠⁠
-Reparent your inner-child by giving yourself words of self-compassion⁠⁠

I have been loving this book! 📚 I've recommended it to several clients of mine. It's packed with helpful concepts to help us understand our own psychology better.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I definitely recommend it! Have you read it? I'd love the hear your thoughts!⁠⁠
