Doing things that you enjoy is good for your emotional wellbeing.
Simple activities like watching sports with a friend, having a soak in the bath, or meeting up with friends for coffee, going for a walk can all improve your day.
Doing something you're good at, such as cooking or dancing, is a good way to enjoy yourself and have a sense of achievement.
Try to avoid things that seem enjoyable at the time but make you feel worse afterwards.
Let me know what you do for your wellbeing.

Saturday I escape out for 4 hours for a few beers with a friend play some pool loved my long hill walks but Bonnie being old now I don`t do it. on the odd midweek I can have some quiet time in my house I love quietness more than anything.
I don't have regular me times.I sometimes like to meet friends for a cuppa .I like to go for walks alone.I do like going to the cinema I find I can switch off.I recently settled myself in a deep bubble bath for a long soak with a good book ,for a bit of calmness but forgot my glasses and couldn't read it.!
Making this more of a priority as a stay at home mom of a 3 year old. Just because I don’t have a paying full time job doesn’t mean I don’t need a break/self care (and not feel guilty about it). Plus it’s good for my 3 year old to spend time with other family. Recently took time for a pedicure and to browse some stores, watch tv (something I barely ever do anymore ever other than his shows), and I scheduled a massage to look forward to in a few weeks. Someone else mentioned just being in the quiet and relaxing. I looooovvvvee quiet time. It feels so good. 3 year old nonstop from 6am-730pm (now that he has recently dropped his nap ). Little to no breaks.
Little ones can be so demanding and they rarely stop as you say, so you really do need sometime to yourself. Just being quiet is so powerful I agree, I love it personally.
Lovely massage, definitely something to look forward to.
