Self Care Activities that Actually Help
My list of practical, achievable and useful self care tips that will actually improve your mood instead of enabling you to wallow.
Reply to your correspondence
Often if we feel low or our motivation is down, we find it tricky to respond to messages and calls from others. This allows unopened messages to pile up which creates stress and even panic. Instead of trying to ignore this problem, set a timer for 15 minutes. Then give yourself those 15 minutes to respond to as many of those messages as possible, starting with the most urgent messages first. If you cannot complete all the messages, take a minute to reevaluate. Can you give yourself another 15 minutes to finish the task today? If not, that’s fine. Assign the task for tomorrow, and repeat the process when you feel refreshed. If you are not able to give a thorough response to all of your contacts, I recommend drafting a universal message to send, stating that you are currently occupied and you hope to offer them a more appropriate message over the coming days. You can tailor this message to suit your needs and circumstances, and it reduces the amount of pressure on you to offer explanations for your absences.
Wash your clothes
Take the clothes you are wearing off. All of them. Strip your bed. Gather up any towels or tea cloths you can find. Wash them all. I cannot overstate the benefit of living in a clean environment, and wearing clean clothes. Even if you can’t wash everything, wash the essentials, and make sure you are wearing fresh clothes from head to toe. You can swap pyjamas out for more pyjamas, what you wear doesn’t matter. Just make sure they’re clean.
Water
Drink a pint of water with nothing added, no fruit, no cordial, nothing. Just drink a pint of water in one sitting. You are almost definitely dehydrated, just like everyone else. Hydration provides mental clarity, energy, and even relives stress. It reduces pains and aches in the body. It helps quell nausea and heartburn. Water is the quickest and easiest way to reduce physical pain or discomfort throughout the day. By keeping hydrated, you’re improving your quality of life almost instantly.
Stretch in bed or on the sofa
The last thing most of us want to do when we feel low or unmotivated is going for a run, or working out at the gym. Instead of pushing yourself to get a serious or intense workout in, try some stretches you can do from the comfort of your bed or sofa. Stretches will help relieve tension in the body and can increase your energy throughout the day. You don’t have to do anything crazy, just a couple of simple, effective stretches will do the trick.
Eat a “healthy” carb
People so often try to avoid eating carbs as they think carbohydrates are inherently unhealthy. This is simply not the case. While carbohydrates are often used in the production of unhealthy treats such as cakes, cookies and pies, they are not fundamentally bad for you. Carbs are our main source of energy, and if you’re feeling low energy is exactly what you need. Try eating a healthier alternative to those instant sugar rush carbs, such as rice, wholemeal pastas or breads, potatoes or oats. You can add other ingredients to these meals, such as berries to oats or some veg to pasta, to make a more filling meal. Everyone eats differently, but we all need carbohydrates in our diet to provide energy and nutrition, alongside other food groups. Creating a balanced diet is much more important than eating “healthy” all the time. Respect your body by fuelling it appropriately and regularly.
Clean yourself as best you can
Have a shower. Take your makeup off. Brush your hair. Clip your nails. Put deodorant on. Brush your teeth. Wash your hands. You might not have the energy for a full “everything shower” but you can probably do one of the things listed above to make yourself feel better about yourself and your hygiene. Don’t berate yourself if you’ve gone a while without practicing any of these for a while, life can be pretty difficult. Just accept your current situation and try to better it as best you can with the energy you now have.
Please reach out to a trusted person or a qualified professional if you feel you need extra support for any reason. You are not alone and you do not need to suffer in silence. Support is there.

1. Why did you choose your URL? So my url is for a few reasons. The main one being that the line in the poem it’s from “Do I contradict myself? Very well, then, I contradict myself. I am large. I contain multitudes.” is very Nick in essence. But it also slightly because Nick has DID and, ah, contains multitudes so to speak. But it’s less that and more that he’s more than he seems to be. Certainly more than Supernatural made him in the end. oofa.
2. What is your middle name? Nicole.
3. If you could own a fairytale/fictional pet, what would it be?
 Gimme a griffin. But specifically one of those tumblr designed griffins that’s a mix of a crow and a raccoon cause that shit would be hysterical. Or maybe like a magpie and a house cat. Also hysterical.
4. Favorite color? Lavender.
5. Favorite song?
 Recently? Boilermaker by Royal Blood.
6. What are your top three fandoms? Supernatural. Star Trek. And,,,, idk if I have a third one I’m a picky bitch with fandoms. But I suppose Dragon Age or Marvel because those are the places I came from before joining tumblr in the RP setting.
7. Why do you enjoy tumblr?
 It’s where a lot of friends are, and I do like that. Plus I guess it does have a certain Je Ne Sais Quoi, much to my chagrin.
8. Tag all 9 of your tumblr crushes. I mean. I don’t know if I have nine of them. But I’ll list a few faves. The First of which is @sunsymbols Marci knows I’m deeply in love at this point it’s fine. But also @compatiissante it’s been a solid ass minute since we’ve actually RP’d but I still love having you about on my dash. Any of Mimikyu/Gabumon’s current blogs ( @ephemeralwolf is the one I most recently recall) BUT I LOVE LITERALLY ALL OF YOUR OCs DUDE. @chaoscharmed 10/10 quality bitch right there. Also shout out to the person who tagged me, cause you’re also part of this list and always have been lol. Low-key also @shieldedsouls hey what up, fam, I hope you doin’ well. You deserve good things. But to be clear I do love anyone I follow, whether we’ve talked yet or not.

Things to like about yourself
Why you’re a better person than you think, without focusing on on your looks or academic ability.
Creativity
Honesty
Diligence
Interest
Thoughtfulness
Empathy
Kindness
Patience
Adaptability
Supportiveness
Generousity
Confidence
Humour
Friendliness
Excitement
Warmth
Care
There are so many things I want to add to this list, I might have to make a part two. There is a lot of pressure on people in our current global society to be perfect, flawless human beings. However, this unattainable version of ourselves can often make us feel worse rather than better. Look at the list above. Read it once or twice. I guarantee you, at least three of those traits apply to you. If you don’t agree, try to get to know yourself better. Instead of focusing on being perfect, try being yourself. Try being the most positive and genuine version of yourself. Self doubt and self criticism is common, but you don’t have to accept it and continue living with it. You can accept it and decide you want to be happier than you are making yourself. Ditch the disrespect and starting loving yourself unapologetically.

How to stay consistent with your habits
With January almost over already, many of our resolutions have proved short-lived as our motivation and good intentions fall by the waste side. This is my short guide to keeping focused throughout the year, learning and maintaining habits and reaching goals.
Reward good work
If you are staying consistent and meeting your goals regularly, try carving out a bit of time to play or celebrate your new wins. All work and no play makes it very difficult to stay motivated and enthusiastic about your goals and dream life. Make sure the process of improving yourself is enjoyable as well as efficient.
Review goals and adapt
Often we begin working towards a new goal and realise we actually don’t feel like that goal aligns with our dreams anymore. Instead of throwing in the towel, try to assess regularly if your goals are still part of your dreams, and try to adapt existing habits and behaviours to suit the needs of your new intentions. Often we are only changing our behaviour slightly, but it can be easy to write off all of our hard work in favour of a blank slate. Don’t waste your efforts by refusing to assess your progress.
Surround yourself with as many positive influences as possible
One of the biggest demotivating factors in our lives are negative or critical influences. Instead of trying to block out negative ideals and influences, try introducing new ones that align with your mindset. These will automatically push out the more negative or unhelpful voices and will reduce the pressure on you to defend your actions to others.
Allow yourself to fail
By allowing yourself to fail, you’re admitting that you are not perfect in whatever habit or skill you are trying to build. When you can finally accept that all progress takes time and failure, you will feel more comfortable practicing your habits openly in your life, and won’t feel as overwhelmed if you’re struggling.
As always, my advice is exactly that, please adapt all the information here to fit your life and your goals, everyone is different and our needs are different too.
