Salon post: February 9th

[jenett]

Welcome to this week's salon post!

I've been home sick for two days (today I am actually at work, but also dubious I'm going to make it to the end of the day, but I had a couple of things that would be complicated to put off and I no longer feel completely lousy.)

Topic of the week
So, what do you do for self-care that makes a big difference for you? And has that changed over time, or with different situations?


House rules:
This is a public post, feel free to encourage other people to drop by, just note the 'if posting anonymously, include a name people can call you in responses' rule.

* Consider this a conversation in my living room, only with a lot more seating. I reserve the right to redirect, screen, and otherwise moderate stuff, but would vastly prefer not to have to.

* If you don't have a DW account or want to post anonymously, please include a name we can call you in this particular post. (You can say AnonymousOne or your favourite colour or whatever. Just something to help keep conversations clear.)

* If you've got a question or concern, feel free to PM me.

I love my fitbit, and I've definitely been motivated to go and Do More Steps by the prospect of turning everything green :-) I've also learned that setting my goals to things that I *can* hit almost every day is way more motivating than leaving them at my "in an ideal world" setting. I have a whole slightly complicated process for tracking and updating progress against my goals each week - but then I love doing slightly complicated processes and marking progress that way.
