#valuesbasedselfcare

Drinking coffee and reflecting on gratitude, enjoying the quiet calm with this sweet lil turkey while his Papa sleeps in. This is a handy book of journaling prompts from @mooreaseal, perfect to have in reserve for the holidays. It’s easy for me to get swept up in anxiety and hyper focus on what might go wrong or be stressful, or dwell on negative memories from the past—laying down this protective foundation of what I love and cherish is part of my #valuesbasedselfcare. (Also goddamn, I do love a specialized journal format. Why have just one when you can have too many? I better go write about this in my journal of consumption, right after I finish cataloguing last night’s dreams in my dream journal #predictablemaggi ) #automneestarrivé18 #hibernationseason #predictablerusty #sharegratitude #copingstrategies https://www.instagram.com/p/BqfaxWFHZgr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=189ccuwvytdsw

My dresser, crammed in my closet in our pretty small loft, is my #valuesbasedselfcare shrine: #allbodiesaregoodbodies wreath by @gracedchin, #feelsgoodtofeelgood and #untilitfeelsright by @uhhlysia, my @tesseraoracle and other delights. Now I’ve added this perfect @julia_ballenger bathing babe to remind me of long, restorative tub soaks (our very small bathroom has a very small and shallow tub—perhaps in my next life I’ll be able to take baths at home). #predictablemaggi #ceramicart #juliaballenger #myideaofheavenisaverydeeptub https://www.instagram.com/p/BqQfiv5nDGd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dwzh4s83iqp2

Another Sunday morning, this time stormy as all get-out, another fantastic mug from @hellovelouria. #fuckmug #valuesbasedselfcare #automneestarrivé18 #mybigbluevelvetchair (at Belltown, Seattle) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpfBVpEnWnU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=f8lvdgvl4t5c

Lately I have avoided the news, Twitter, current events podcasts, and that’s a privilege, I know. It’s just all too much some days, and the hits just keep coming. My #valuesbasedselfcare toolkit gives me permission to step away from the worst of real life now and again, to appreciate what I can: time with my love and my pup, the delicious shift of a new season, an open expanse of a day where I get fuckall done. Consider giving yourself that gift, if you need it. Everything else will still be there tomorrow. #automneestarrivé18 (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpdd4ldH0py/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1sr3z9w3b4yqt
