have you eaten yet today? if no, try to eat something. any calories >>> none. if you have a hard time knowing what foods to eat, try pinning a list of foods you ate and enjoyed somewhere where you'll see it when meal planning (kitchen, near your desk, by your bed, etc.)
have you drank any liquids recently? try to drink ~8oz, a cup, or whatever you can manage right now! water, juice, soda, milks, anything you can drink.
have you taken your meds? pills, injections, anything of that ilk. if you have medical equipment, is there anything you need to do for it, such as cleaning it, refilling something, charging it, anything like that?
how's your sleep today? if you haven't slept much, is there anything that would help you rest, nap, or be prepared to sleep more soon? a common cause of insomnia is anxiety - consider writing down before bed what you feel anxious about, and physically close whatever you made the note in while acknowledging that you have these anxieties, and you are allowed to let go right now.
have you said something nice about yourself today? try approaching a mirror, opening your camera, or in some way acknowledging yourself while saying something positive or at least neutral about yourself. some examples could be "i like my hair today", "i am wearing clothes that i like", "I am proud of myself for doing my laundry today"
is your laundry in the washer? in the dryer? what about dishes? anything else easy to set and forget about that you need to check on?
what inspires you to feel cared for? is it physical touch? being around others? making a meal you enjoy? crafting? rocking out to a song you enjoy? whatever it is, can you set aside a time today to do that?
feel free to add on! all of you deserve to feel cared for.
