Rolling dice for mental health

[flamingsword]

A friend recommended a fair while back that I could make a numbered list of 20 mentally healthy things for me to do to care for myself, and then roll a die to pick a random one so that I never get burned out or bored. And then I got eleventy million headaches and forgot until today. So here:

My D20 Self-Care List:
-1. Go outside
-2. Look at paintings online
-3. Read poetry
-4. Meditate
-5. Smellgoods
-6. Pet kitties or rub silk
-7. Hot bath
-8. hugs and snuggles
-9. Read something comforting
-10. Listen to music
-11. Ask for help with something
-12. Make a pot of decaf
-13. Connect with a loved one
-14. Stretch
-15. Eat a tasty food
-16. Finish something
-17. Blog
-18. Rub my feet
-19. List recent accomplishments
-20. Crafting projects.

In this vein, I have also created a D100 table of (so far) ten people to call, text, or email and say something nice about them. We could all use the extra mood boost to know that someone is proud of us, or trusts us, or is delighted that we exist. And the act of gratitude and finding good things about others or that they mean to me is good for my mood, too. If you want to be on the list, lmk?

In personal news, my nasal swab fungus test came back abnormal, so we may have a cause for what, exactly, is going on with these headaches. Fingers crossed. 🤞
