Painting.
Children do it. It is a fun activity.
I have found painting is my self care as of late. Like running, it gives a type of adrenaline while you push toward your goal, or completed project. It allows my brush to express what I am unable to. It challenges me, but in a good way. I believe I like it.
Personally, self care has never been a thing I am good at. It is much easier for me to preach it than to walk it. With self care, you choose what helps you release and relax. And, I love the smell and mess of it all. That paint. How metaphoric.
What is it that you do?
