Even if it’s a small change in your attitude, what is that one thing you can rely on when having a rough day?
I have a few go to activities I can rely on, but they depend on how much time and energy I have to devote to them.
My favorite and most consistent activity is taking a long shower and shaving every inch of my body. Body hair has always been such a huge source of dysphoria for me since I was a teenager over 15 years ago. Weeeellll before I knew what dysphoria was. I would shave my arms and legs until my friends starting making fun of me for it. Didn’t realize it was such a “weird” thing for me to do. I just hated seeing the hair and loved the sensation of smooth skin. 😅
Unfortunately this activity takes me a while if I want to do it right, but goodness do I feel like a new woman when I crawl into bed that night with soft silky skin.
So do you have a similar activity? Is it self care based like like or something different like listening to a favorite music album or watching a comfort show?
All the love, Olivia
