  Speaker 1: Hey everyone, this is Raven from Pressing the Painting Button.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: And today I've got for you a video that I
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: think everybody can relate to, whether you.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Have a mental illness or you don't. And that is self-care.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Now of course if you look at Pinterest, you're going
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: to see self-care stuff all over the place.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: And you're not going to know what, because it's so
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: much information. It's like, what do I do?
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Do I drink 3,000 cups of green tea a day?
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Do I soak myself in lavender almond butters?
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Do I, I don't know, go and sit in a
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: hot tub with rose petals and butterflies and all that jazz?
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: No. You don't have to do any of that really
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: fancy stuff. But I mean, unless you want to do it,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: then go for it. But I've looked at a lot
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: of self-care things, and even now, I still have no
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: freaking idea about exactly how to do self-care.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: And especially.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Personally with living with mental illness, that is something that's
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: very very important. So I have now kind of figured
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: out a way to figure out self-care and it's in
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: two categories physical and mental slash emotional. We'll put them
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: both together into mental. So basically body and mind. So
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: first part of self-care is the body, the physical. So
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Examples would be like, have you drank enough water today?
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Because dehydration is a thing, guys. And even, like, just
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: drinking one cup of water. If you even, like, you
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: know what, right now, if you haven't drank water today,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: go get some.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: One, two, three, go! Do you have.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: The water yet?
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Sweet. My water is on my desk over there, actually.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: And of course, living in a society where we need
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: to get the dun-dun-dun-now-now-now, We tend to rely a lot
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: on caffeine and energy drinks and coffee and stuff like that.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: And you know, caffeine is very dehydrating for the body actually.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: And I know you hear that on Pinterest a million times,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: like it's.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Going to dehydrate, you need to drink water.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: But personally, take it from a biology major, you need
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: water to survive. Next thing is stress. Are you eating
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: good foods? Like, you don't have to be like a
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: vegan or be like that number one healthy eating person
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: who eats nothing but avocado toast.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: No.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Because, I mean, not everybody can eat a perfectly balanced diet.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's hard to do. You're already trying to
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: balance the rest of your life. And balancing food is
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: kind of hard. So, you know, at least see if
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: you're getting your nutrients. And if you're not, maybe take
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: a multivitamin. Make sure you're eating things that are delicious
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: not only for your body, but for your taste buds
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: and for your soul.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Is there any foods that you guys think is delicious
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: to the soul? To me, it's macaroni and cheese, especially
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: baked mac and cheese.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Yum. So if you want to eat comfort foods, do it.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Everything's great in moderation.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: If you want to just eat nothing but carrots, don't
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: OD on them because then you'll actually turn orange and
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: you'll die.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: That's bad. So next thing about physical is hygiene. Have
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: you taken a shower in a while? If not, go
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: take one.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Even if you don't really need to take one, but
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: you feel really crappy, go take a shower.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Because taking a shower feels wonderful. It's all nice and warm,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: and you can play your favorite music, and it's just
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: a lot of fun. Or if you want to take
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: a bath, sit in the bathtub. You can use bath bombs.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: And I mean, if you don't have a bath bomb,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: you can do a bath using Epsom salt and baking soda.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: They help to Relax your muscles, draw out stuff. And
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: baking soda also makes.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Your skin really soft, which is awesome.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: And also, have you brushed your teeth today? Have you
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: put on deodorant? Have you cleansed yourself? Do you have
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: clean clothes on, even if it's a lazy day?
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Wearing the same pajamas for like days on end gets
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: kind of gross. So put on sweatpants and a tank top.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: That's one of my favorite lazy outfits.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Just something to make you feel more refreshed and a
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: little cleaner. Because when we feel really gross and dirty,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: then you feel even lower about yourself. And self-care, the
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: goal of self-care is to make yourself feel better, not worse.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Better, not worse. Another thing is exercise. Have you moved today?
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Or have you sat in your bed and just stared
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: at the ceiling?
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: If you've done that, then, you know, get up. Go
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: for a walk.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Dance to your favorite music. Play an active game like Twister.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Or if you play Pokemon Go, go hedge eggs. Whatever
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: you can do to get your body moving. Because it
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: gets your heart pumping, it gets oxygen flowing, your body
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: will thank you. And of course the most important thing
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: is that it releases some good neurotransmitters. And they make
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: you feel really happy. And having happy feelings is a
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: good thing. And now we get to the mental aspect
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: of self-care.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: What do you do to feel better? If you've done
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: everything physically, why not mentally? One thing is do something
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: you love to do. That could be read a book.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: It could be knitting a sweater. It could be, I
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: don't know, vacuuming.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Whatever you want to do that will help you feel better,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: do it. Because, especially if you haven't done it so long,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: it feels really nice to do something you really love doing.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: Reward yourself.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: You've worked your butt off doing all sorts of stuff.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Like you could have had a day of cleaning your room,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: doing laundry, studying for tests, doing.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Homework, all sorts of stuff.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: And of course, in today's world, we're always push, push, push, go, go, go, do, do, do.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: And you just always feel like you have to do more.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: You have to do more. And you don't.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: Get a break. And you don't get rewarded. Even if
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: you reward yourself. Because being rewarded feels pretty awesome. Like
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: you could go do your favorite thing or, I.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: Don't know, get that big king-size chocolate bar and just
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: shove it down your face hole.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Anything to just kind of boost yourself up. Do deep breathing.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: This is both physical and mental. It gets more oxygen
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: flowing into your system and it helps also for stress relief,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: especially for those of us with anxiety. Breathing is good,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: so that.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Will help with the mental and the physical. Last thing
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: to think of is compliment yourself or be able to
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: receive compliments.
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: If someone tells you, hey, you have nice hair, just
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: be like, oh, thank you, and be able to receive that.
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: And even if you don't believe it at first, you'll
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: have that thought of, oh, someone thinks I have nice hair.
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: I have nice hair, it's so nice.
• 7:09
