Actual Forms of “Self Care:”
Exercising regularly, paying your bills on time, staying informed, cultivating meaningful friendships, brushing and flossing regularly, having healthy adult relationships with your parents (and siblings) in whatever capacity you can, reading more, setting short- and long-term goals, working towards short- and long-term goals, going to sleep instead of passing out, owning your bullshit, sitting with good posture, not taking everything personally, letting things go, eating well, expressing your feelings like an adult, becoming aware of your self-destructive behaviors, doing things you enjoy that aren’t self-destructive behaviors, limiting self-pity, apologizing when necessary, drinking enough water, realizing anger and resentment are not sustainable forms of life-fuel, being self-critical while not self-shredding, responding to criticism with informed opinions or not responding at all, and most importantly: being “present” without delusions of what it means to be “present.”

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow."

"If you want to reach a state of bliss, then go beyond your ego and the internal dialogue. Make a decision to relinquish the need to control, the need to be approved, and the need to judge. Those are the three things the ego is doing all the time. It’s very important to be aware of them every time they come up."
- Deepak Chopra(Source: eternalconsciousness, via meltedspaces)
