- I am not good at self-care things.
Don't get me wrong, I think I take
pretty good care of myself, it's just that
traditional self-care activities
don't really work for me.
All the love to people
who they do work for,
you do you, but here's what
happens when I try to relax.
(exhales loudly) I think I'll
start with a nice hot bath.
I like the idea of a hot bath,
right up until the minute I'm in it,
and then I realize it's not fun,
and there was no reason
to think it would be.
In all the times I've made homemade soup,
I've never thought to
myself, look how relaxed
those vegetables look,
that's an experience
I'd like to recreate in my own home.
A friend sent me a service where you watch
these relaxing nature videos, and I tried,
but three seconds in my
personal chant started up:
Bored, bored, bored, bored.
So that's a no.
Try some nice herbal tea maybe.
Unfortunately, drinks that
taste like dirt to me,
do not relax me.
I would take some Irish
breakfast with cream and sugar,
but then instead of being relaxed,
I'd be up for the next 30 hours.
I saw the other day this
article about how to relax
with the seven step skin care routine.
What?
I can't calm down, so I'm
gonna take it out on my skin?
Also our bathroom is
tiny, just thinking about
where to put all those
little jars and packets
is stressing me the (beep) out.
But, if I need to watch
something that's less horrible
than the Trump
administration there's always
"Criminal Minds," yeah,
that'll do the trick.
