Day 2

Day 2.

My intentions for today are:
- to move slowly
- to enjoy the company of the people I am meeting
- to drink as much water as my body needs
- to not binge
- to not restrict my diet to low-carb

I really like the 'this week I'm seeking pleasure by...' segment from Mara Glatzel. I personally am not sure if seeking pleasure is the key component to having a good life, so I might change it to 'today I'm looking after myself by...':
- seeing my best friends
- enjoying some ballet
- listening to some music that I enjoy - but in the afternoon, not the evening
- getting as much sleep as I need - 10 luxurious hours
- putting on makeup for the first time since Friday
- taking the time to sit down around 6pm and thinking thoughtfully about how I want to spend my evening (so that it doesn't get wasted browsing websites)

This bit was actually harder to write than I thought. Apart from food, the first thing that pops into my head are all the tasks I have to do: unpack my clothes, mail things, finish listening to a lecture, buy paint etc etc. Surely I'm looking after myself by ticking off boxes? Yet somehow I don't think that's what is meant by self-care.
