I see a lot of these - but often find them hard to relate to because the suggestions require way more energy than I have! So I’ve made a list of some of my favourite things to do incase anyone else is in the same boat!
- listening to kids book audios! My favourite are the bluey books, but I know there are a bunch of other fun ones on youtube!
- If there’s a day where you have some extra energy, or you have someone to help out, try hanging things on the wall/ceiling near your bed to look at.
- open up your window if you can handle the light! Plenty of fun things to see out there - can you see any cool trees? Or birds?
- touch and feel books!! I find it hard to have my eyes open a lot of the time, so these are a really good option because I can flip through and feel the pages without having to look at them!
- playing with/arranging my stuffies! On low energy days I find it hard to get out and play with most of my toys, but i keep my stuffies on my bed so it’s easier to reach them!
- calling with friends! Especially if they know about your regression and/or low energy!! Talking is fun, but if you don’t feel up to it just watching something together is as fun!
- star projector! I thrifted one for really cheap, and so when im stuck on my back it’s lovely to look at on my ceiling!
- regression playlist - I have a playlist of songs I love when im little, during particularly bad flares, listening to it in the dark is almost all I can do
- babbling, I know this sounds silly but it can be super fun and calming to babble to yourself
- kids shows and movies! I know a lot of screen time isn’t good for you - but if that’s all you have the energy for then there’s nothing wrong with it!
- picking out fun and cozy clothes for bed! I love my Winnie the Pooh top and my vintage nightgown the best (cause it makes me feel like a princess!!).
- daydreaming! I know some people struggle with this one, but it’s so super fun and definitely my favourite if you can!
