Any interest in a Self-Care section?

Just wondering if there’s anyone else who would think this a good idea for a section. For things like:

  • diet discussions that aren’t about weight loss or recipes etc but just feeling good about what you eat
  • ideas of what to do when a bit down - I know there’s the MH section but more for ‘normal range’ of emotions than dealing with more complex conditions
  • discussing routines for self care - kind of style and beauty stuff but not so much to do with products etc., more feeling good about yourself
  • pacing/balancing conflicting priorities in life
  • dealing with ‘normal’ fatigue, rather than looking for help with diagnosis etc like in health section
  • comfort books/tv/podcasts
  • good self-help type books/blogs/podcasts
  • meditation (is there a topic this fits in?)
  • yoga for relaxation/anxiety etc
  • looking after oneself when run ragged with a newborn/kids (not really parenting as such as not about the kids?)

So, I know all these things could be squeezed into an existing section, or if not then _Chat, but it would be nice to have non-disappearing threads like this all in one place.

Anyone else agree with me???

Totally forgot I started this thread! V excited others like the idea.

Yes Dickensian - agree re imagining something encompassing personal development type stuff also - but not sure what the snappy name for that is...
