Self Care Check

Space

Do you know how to do the laundry yourself?
Have you washed your curtains or opened your blinds within the past three weeks?
Have you washed your sheets, PJs, towels, and/or other laundry within the past three weeks?
Have you wiped down your glasses, mirror, windows, or doorknobs within the last three weeks? (Maybe with some dish soap to sanitize or a dash of apple cider vinegar to break down gunk on non-food-stuffs.)
Is your trash or sink full? Will you empty it?
Are your plants in need of watering? Are they in need of being turned?
Choose one subspace in your environment and reflect if it needs to be care for. Maybe is this place you might spend most of your day, or a few moments every other day.
Are there batteries that need to be charged?
Have you wiped down any of the surfaces you frequently use recently?
Have you unplugged unused devices?
Do you need to put any things back where they belong?

Sustain

Do you have the food you need for the upcoming days?
Do you need to pick up food or any necessities, such as toilet paper or toothpaste, from the store?
Would you like to take a nap?
Would you like to drink some water?
Would you like to wash your face?
Is there someone who is waiting for you? Can you take steps towards them?
Is there something you need to release yourself from?
Do you need to consider a transition to a new phase of your life?
Have you reflected on what it is that calls you with urgency and importance?
Do you find yourself at the capacity to address them?
Would you like to listen to your favorite song?
Would you like to do a dance?
Would you like to stretch?
Would you like to share something you have extra of?

This encompasses a list of activities I've learned to check in with myself in regards to as someone who often finds myself at low capacity and low functioning. I come back to this list about every three weeks using a notification set to my calendar. Some aspects have become integrated into my routine once I was ready for them. Some of them aren't routine cases but are still things that I wanted to get checked in on and reminded of. They are suggestions, check-in questions, and affirmations.

This page stands purely as a place for you to feel the satisfaction of checking boxes. No memory will be saved. When you refresh, it's gone. Leave it up as you try to go down the list. Or take a quick look, pick one, and go about your day. You might also enjoy: You Feel Like Shit.

Learning how to be a person is hard. You aren't alone.
