Optimistic October 2025 W.I.S.H. Thread

It’s Tuesday! What health/self care “thing” actually works for you?

Complete alone time! If I've "peopled" too much, I need recovery time, and the criteria for recovery time to be effective are:

• I must not have respond to anyone (this means real people in my house or sounds my phone makes).
• I am on my own timetable - I get to decide exactly when I start and stop things.
• I control the volume of whatever I'm doing.

I love getting a massage but I don't get them too often. I tend to just chill on the couch and watch tv and play games on my phone.

The ortho told us yesterday that this break is the best case scenario because if it did not break the ligament would have snapped in half. She is in a cast now (her choice since she is not self disciplined enough to keep it on). 3.5 weeks of the cast and no driving.

Knitting? I also need complete alone/me time. A lot of it. So much that it is actually becoming a problem, which is one of the reasons I decided to resume counseling. I need to get serious about executing some life skills.
