For the past month or so I have only had the mental fortitude to take my meds on a daily basis. So many life changes have me reeling. Refresh, Refocus, Renewing my next chapter in my life. #makingmaeve

My new favorite thing to do to fall asleep is to put a black screen YT video that is literally 10 hrs long of nothing but rain and thunder. Sweet dreams everyone! #makingmaeve #sleep #soundscapes #rain

Behind the scenes my life was falling apart. I've course corrected and I am currently heading in the right direction. Tomorrow I am going to start the biggest journey I have yet to undertake and I hope you all will join me on it. #makingmaeve #selfdiscovery #selfcare #authenticity

My BPD and anxiety had gotten the better of me this past month. Took a hiatus from social media and refocused on my mental health. Not completely great yet but working on it. #makingmaeve #mentalhealth #selfcare #workingonit

Yesterday was Day 2 of this month's self care challenge. I took the opportunity to call my brother. It was good catching up with him while I wasn't half asleep when he and my sister FaceTimed me at 450am. What are you plans for today to practice some self care? #selfcare #makingmaeve #30daychallenge

Day 21 and 22: I know I'm a slacker for posting. I read Unf*ck Yourself which was excellent and today I went for a walk on my lunch break. Currently working on another 30 day challenge. @loveslightnflight.bsky.social what are you up to? #selfcare #makingmaeve #30daychallenge

I am seriously pondering writing my first novel. I have had the story in my head for years but I have no clue how to start the process. Help! #booksky #bookskyauthors #firsttimewriter #indiesky #indieauthor #makingmaeve

Day 20: it might not be exciting to some but I changed my bed sheets. I have a horrible habit of not sleeping in my bed but on the couch. Literally every night. The last time I slept in my bed was before Christmas. Tonight I will. #selfcare #makingmaeve #30daychalleng

Yesterday was day 19: instead of a favorite movie (I have too many of them), I watched my favorite TV series...Ted Lasso. That show is such a gem and has some of the best one liners I have ever heard. #iykyk #tedlasso #selfcare #makingmaeve #roykent

Day 18: self care for the day was cleaning my bedroom. That meant I had to put away all the laundry I have been hoarding for the past two weeks. Feels good to get it done. What did you do today? #selfcare #makingmaeve #30daychallenge

I was talking to my daughter tonight about art and how in college I had a professor who was astounded to find out I didn't paint due to my "insight and eye for art". My brain imagines all of these creative, beautiful, wild things but my hands don't want to cooperate. #newhobbymaybe #makingmaeve

Day 17: I put on an outfit that makes me feel good. Pajamas count right? I sure think so! @loveslightnflight.bsky.social what did you do today? #selfcare #makingmaeve #30daychallenge

Slacked on my posts for the 30 Day Self Care Challenge. Day 14- I tied a new overnight oats recipe (peach cobbler) delicious! Day 15- I watched the sunset from my porch. And today, Day 16- I journaled how I felt. I want to make this a more frequent thing. #selfcare #makingmaeve #30daychallenge

Day 13 yesterday I complied a playlist of my current favorite songs. A lot of Hozier, Ben Barnes, Billie Eilish, APC, Tool, Sleep Token, HIM, Nicotine Dolls. It's such a crazy mix. I wonder what it says about my mental health? #selfcare #makingmaeve #30daychallenge

Yesterday was Day 12 of my self care challenge and I had to change the one item as I was born with anosmia. Instead of smelling candles I lit candles in my house to relax by. #selfcare #makingmaeve #30daychallenge

Day 11 of the challenge. Today was craptastical so the only option that would make me feel better was to call a loved one. I talked to my sister and vented and it made me feel better. What did you do for self care today? #selfcare #makingmaeve #30daychallenge

Yesterday was 10 day of my self care challenge and I completely forgot to post what I did! I went to bed early and got up early. I am not an early riser so that was something new for me! #selfcare #makingmaeve #earlybird

So this morning I had to get blood work done before my upcoming PCP appointment. I have been having nightmares about my cholesterol going up higher despite being put on medication for it. Needless to say I was terrified for nothing! Down 104 pts since August! #selfcare #makingmaeve #gethealthy

Day 9 of the self care challenge. Tonight I went out to eat with my totally AUsome son for some comfort food. #selfcare #30daychallenge #makingmaeve #comfortfood #garlicknots

Tea time with a good book! Currently reading Unfu*k Yourself and I love it. What are you reading? #booksky #makingmaeve #books #teatime #reading

Last night I completed day 8 which was a glorious bubble bath with a candle while I stayed over at my sister's house. I was so relaxed and so sleepy that I forgot to post! I hope everyone is having a great Tuesday! #selfcare #makingmaeve #bathtime #relaxation

Day 7 of the self care challenge and I chose to declutter a room. Took me 2 days of doing it but the doom room is no more. My den is back and I officially have my reading space back. You know what I will be doing tomorrow! #selfcare #makingmaeve #30daychallenge #doomroom #readingnook #booksky

Day 5: I spent my night hanging with my daughter finishing up the latest season of Boulet Brothers Dragula. We've been fans since day 1. I feel like I need to rewatch all of the seasons. A new Titans season was teased and i am completely down for that! #selfcare #makingmaeve #bouletbrothersdragula

Day 3 of the self care challenge. Today was rough due to work so my only focus was to drink my water goal of 64oz. I did it and hated every minute of it. I prefer my water filtered over magical brown beans piping hot. #selfcare #makingmaeve #30daychallenge

Day 2 of the challenge for self care I chose to do the one thing I truly needed after work. I took a 2 hour nap. I slept like the dead and it felt great. What did you do today for some self care? #selfcare #makingmaeve #naptime

So I started the challenge today and the first one I did was to write out 15 things I am grateful for. Here is my list along with the challenge if you want to get in on it! #selfcare #makingmaeve #30daychallenge #gratuity

Anyone want to join me starting tomorrow on this 30 day self care challenge? Each day for the next 30 days I will be doing one of these and posting them. Super excited to start this journey! #selfcare #30daychallenge #makingmaeve #newbeginnings #selflove
