easy as 1, 2, 3!
I wrote about the cognitive behavioural therapy homework my therapist set for me this last week after a pretty rough week. I thought today I'd share my homework to compliment the CBT diaries and also so you could see the basic level of self care that I implemented the week I was having a real tough time...
Friday -
1. Cuddled Cece.
2. Drank tea (lots of it, unlimited)
3. Chilled under my favourite duvet.
Saturday -
1. Researched and ordered six new books to read.
2. Wrote on my blog.
3. Cooked a mexican dinner.
Sunday -
1. Had McDonalds breakfast with my Dad (technically he bought this to me, but it was a highlight of the day!)
2. Walked to the shop and bought Bourneville Buttons.
3. and orange tulips!
Monday -
1. Created a new playlist of songs on Spotify to enjoy around the house. (It included Hear'say Pure & Simple - tune!)
2. Washed my hair with a hair mask & blow dried.
3. Watched Line of Duty (I keep calling it Call of Duty).
Tuesday -
1. Lit a Yankee Candle I'd been saving.
2. Re-read one of my favourite magazines.
3. Watched Mamma Mia 2.
Wednesday -
1. Read a comic book (The Umbrella Academy!)
2. Painted my nails in my favourite red shade.
3. Photographed lots of images for myself & my blog.
I'm not sure how simple, easy or helpful this is, but I thought it was a nice way of keeping it with my diaries. Some of the tasks were just ordinary but others such as re-reading my favourite magazines, painting my nails and photography were things I hadn't done in weeks if not months and it felt good doing something different or unusual.
