The arthritis in my knees has flared up and I have a large Baker's Cyst behind my right knee which is causing me a lot of pain. It helps when I put my feet up and rest with an icepack behind my knee.

Today's Journal
Self care Saturday checklist. There are 8 areas of self-care:
Physical Self-Care: There is no mental health without physical health. Essential activities like getting restful sleep, movement, eating nutrient-dense foods, and being proactive about your health are all keys to maintaining physical self-care.
Mental Self-Care: Mental self-care allows you to declutter your mind and decrease stress. There isn’t one way fits all approach to this area. Some people might like to relax by reading a new book, while others might create a new recipe. Mental self-care is to relax in whatever way feels good for you.
Emotional Self-Care: Your emotional well-being is CRUCIAL for your overall well-being. The main idea of this area is to get in touch with your emotions. Exploring and expressing your feelings, setting boundaries, relying on your support system, and extending self-compassion contribute to your emotional health.
Financial Self-Care: Self care Saturday is a perfect way of reframing your approach to your finances by budgeting, creating a savings goal, or seeking financial advice that supports your financial well-being.
Spiritual Self-care: Nurturing your spiritual side can be rewarding and a great way to slow down. Whether you meditate, engage in self-reflection, or connect with nature, you will experience a deeper sense of meaning and align with your values.
Social Self-Care: Now more than ever, human connection is vital to our well-being. Taking the time to build and nurture your relationships is an important part of self-care.
Occupational Self-care: Experiencing work-life balance and satisfaction is incredibly important to your well-being. Take your well-deserved time off to relax, finding activities that help you relax outside of work is important.
Environmental Self-care: The popular saying, “Your mind reflects your space,” couldn’t be more accurate. You want your space to be safe, nurturing, and relaxing. You can enhance this area by organizing, creating a safe space, planting a new tree, or cleaning.
