I schedule in time for self care, and it's usually quiet time, journaling, doing NOTHING (which is glorious). It's also weekly meal prep so that I have lunches all week. Or my daily pre-bed chore list so things don't pile up.

Getting a massage regularly has helped heal the anxiety that gets trapped in my body.

Like Jessica, I pack my self-care into the morning, when I'm not abuzz on a million things yet. My routine is difficult to stick with for me, but helps soooo much. I wake up every single day, make tea, put on a John Carpenter record (I'm a composer and huge horror fan), snuggle with my cat (she's 17 and her name is Lollipop and omg), and read (usually also a horror novel) for the duration of the record (dual creative profession: I'm also a writer, but consistently struggle to read later in the day because of my ADHD). Woo! Sorry, that was a lot of parentheses, but they were important for demonstration. Basically, I spend the first hour of my day on stacking multiple things that I LOVE on top of each other, which also makes me feel good for prioritizing them so intentionally and so habitually. The whole experience is somehow both meditative and indulgent, and all of these these things produce dopamine *for me* in this configuration, thus I call this practice "dopamine loading." Neurochemically speaking, this morning routine sets me up for MUCH greater success with whatever comes later in the day. Doing this massively improves my life whenever I can stay on it. I feel most anybody could similarly benefit from finding their own version of it, whatever that may be.

Okay but like that's amazingly brilliant and your example made me realise that I could potentially do the same thing and feel much much better in my day. I think I'm going to see what I can do to have a more self-indulgant morning without it being too unwildly! Thank you so so so much for sharing! - Harley, Community Manager

Yes!! I was hoping the structure and concept of it might sound good enough to attempt for a fellow brain out there! I hope it helps!!
