I got some exercise, rested, and meditated. What did you do?
I think this will be something I ask myself every day this next year just to make sure I am taking care of myself.

Members shared their daily self-care routines in response to a question about how they're taking care of themselves, with exercise emerging as a central theme including walking, swimming, gym workouts, and meditation or prayer to start the day. Several members emphasized the importance of rest and listening to their bodies, especially while recovering from surgeries, pneumonia, or managing chronic conditions, with one member noting the balance between pushing through when energy is high and giving themselves grace when rest is needed. A recurring theme was gratitude for small victories like completing household tasks, spending time with loved ones, and making it through another day, paired with encouragement to prioritize food as medicine and stay stress-free in the new year.

I do 20 mins. of meditation/prayer early in the am, go to the gym to ride the recumbent bike for 30 mins. in the mid morning, and do a routine of home exercises for seniors using dumbbells and rubber exercise bands in the afternoon.
