Do you practice self care? (lemmy.ml)

Hello. Let's talk about self-care. Who practices self-care regularly? I've been making an absolute effort to practice self-care, and it's definitely improving my mood. I floss, meditate, do qigong, breathwork, etc. Yes, flossing is self-care, take care of yo teefs. What does everyone do for self-care? Bonus question: Where else can I post questions besides Ask Lemmy?

Lazy self-care taker here! I could not resolve myself to make much time for self care so i just built in a few things in my daily routine: walk my 10k steps a day to get some alone time & reflect, slow down my life rythm by avoiding to run from one thing to the next and focus on things i like, increase the amount of sport i do (outside in nature as opposed to a gym (or indoors) that looks like a soulless beton cage), eat better and healthier, drink less, i have now a personal assistant in my phone to scribble down anything (memos, tasks, ideas, thoughts...) so as to not clog my head with things 'i have to remember', re-focus on beneficial friendships, etc...
