I unintentionally broke up my 18 minutes of self-care a day into a two-week experiment.
Week 1: I spent 18 minutes doing various self-care activities including journaling, guided meditations and a self-love workbook.
Results: Felt less anxious and less depressed.
Week 2: I did none of the 18-minute self-care activities.
Results: Feeling more anxious and more depressed.
Just because the week is up for proposed activities, that doesn’t mean I stop the activities.
Who would’ve thought?
This proved to me, if it needed to be proven, that progression in my mental health healing takes work. I can’t rely on medication and a magnetic procedure to magically and permanently fix me.
Unlike Aurora, I don’t have three good fairies to grant me wishes. So, I must work.
Otherwise, I’m a little bit of a mess.
I will continue to practice the self-care acts in addition to whatever I discover when working with Belle’s affirmation cards.
