I came across this post by Annie from Pajama Productivity a couple of weeks ago and I love it. The most difficult thing about getting out of a crazy stressful time is that it’s crazy stressful and you can’t think straight. Preemptive Self Care!
I’m sharing mine here so that you can steal what you want from it and then build on it. Here we go:
- A note reminding me that I have a library card, books are available
- A one month bus pass
- A box of peppermint tea
- A gift certificate for the Mexican place down the street
- A reminder note that I have airline miles, and permission to use them
- A list of people I’d invite to a potluck and a reminder that being around people can help, depending on what’s going on
- A reminder that I have a Spotify account
- A reminder that I have a hula hoop and a park within walking distance
- A gift certificate to the grocery store
- Unscented bath salts, I can add essential oils to the tub
How about you? What do you need in order to feel taken care of?

We’re being open here, sharing and saying things we don’t always say out loud. What helps: Sharing your stories and Ideas. Cheering and telling what works/worked for you. What hurts: shoulds, harshness, and such. (I used to teach first grade, I can’t help it.)
