So, being forced to limit exercise due to Costochondritis issues (GAHH! Hating this!); this challenge will be posted here: 

Bricks

I will comment in this post (mostly about my self-care routine); but my stats will be in the Monkey Tamers United post as I plan on taking the monkey down & building my wall.

My self-care routine includes:

1. Taking time to de-stress using the Stop, Breathe, & Think app.

2. Regular skin care routine

3. Sleep

4. Hydration

I'm actually posting in both places. This is my self-care + general chatter post. The other is productivity-related. I will post the end result of MTU here but only at the week's end.

This dry cool weather, and the increased frequency of hand washing is really taking a toll on my hands. I should probably have some kind of skin care routine too.

Mine are horrible. ? I'm considering getting out my coconut oil, slathering it on & then putting on a pair of gloves til my skin absorbs the oil.

At least mine aren't bleeding yet. My boys' hands are so dry the skin has cracked and started bleeding :(  I've never tried coconut oil for dry skin. Is it any good? Better than regular hand cream?

Ccoconut oil is great for skin & hair. Since it is an oil, it's best to put it on your hands at night so it doesn't get all over stuff. I usually wear cotton gloves until the majority of the oil is absorbed into the skin & then blot off the excess.

I use regular hand cream sparingly.

Struggling mentally today. Going to go read my Bible to cheer me up.

Sounds like a good plan! One thing I am learning during this time is to  turn to the Lord more for my comfort and joy.

So I did something stupid today. Ate something that I thought was borderline ok to eat & now I'm nauseous. It must have been older than I thought. I'm usually pretty careful about that kind of thing; but I saw it and was like OOH NOMNOMNOM! ?

Now I'm like ??????

Did not do well on sleep, meditation, or hydration. Stinkin' monkey mind! ? I'm glad that I have an active brain; but does it have to be active until 12am?! I miss my Moon Drops. Can't get them anywhere. *sigh*

I feel your pain there. Can you move the meditation to right before bed and maybe it'll help you sleep better?
