Band Back Together – The World As I See It

I am not sure how many of you read this post where I talk about volunteering for The Band Back Together project. I am still helping them out and they have started a new thing where on Friday’s that post a question for people to answer and since I am always trying to find things other than book reviews to write about I am going to start writing about them.

Today I am going to answer the question that was asked in this post of theirs: What is your favorite ways to take care of yourself?

I have found that lately my favorite way to take care of myself is once I leave work I don’t turn on a computer and I try not to use my phone. I find that if I am always connected to social media I tend to get burnt out super quick. When I am home from work I don’t turn on a computer and I just relax so that maybe I will be able to sleep without taking any medication.
Another way I like to take care of myself is to read books and as I am sure you can tell I have no shortage of books to read right now.
I also take the time to laugh. My grandma and I are always laughing about something. Laughter can brighten any day and make a bad day better. I have learned to not take the world so seriously and laughing helps me do that.
I also get my nails done ever 3 weeks. Which is a great way for me to relax and change things up. I have started to post what my nails look like after I get them done so if you are interested you can check out those post right here!

What do you do to take care of yourself?

The Band Back Together Project

I am not sure if everyone knows what The Band is and since I recently started volunteering for them I wanted to write a post about it and introduce to what a great site it is. I have been reading the stories on Band Back Together since it was started in 2010. It is an amazing place where you can share stories from your own life of just read others stories and comment. I haven’t shared any stories from my past yet but it is something that I hope I will be able to write about and have posted over there.

I recently joined the site and I am now volunteering and helping out with the site. I have met some great people through the site and I have also learned so much. I love to read others stories and take the lessons that they have learned and apply them in my own life. It is such a safe place for people to go and write their stories because you don’t have to worry about getting rude and/or mean comments.

We all know there are things that we don’t want to share on our own blogs or that we aren’t at a point where we can share them openly. I am personally at the stage where I am not willing to share some parts of my past openly but I am going to share them over there because no one will know it is me.

If you have checked out the site yet please go and stop by because everyone needs to hear nice things and it truly does help the people who have submitted a post. Also if you would like to volunteer send an email to volunteer at bandbacktogether dot com. You don’t have to worry about a huge time commitment because you don’t have to do tons of things if you don’t have the time. Right now I spend a like 30 mins or so a day and that is all. I am hoping in time I can do more but for now 30 mins is what I have and they are happy with that.

Go check out the site and let me know what you think!
