Today is the wedding anniversary of my late, great parents, so I definitely need more self-care bingo.
Luckily, in a Coping and Healing group yesterday we added more squares to our self-care bingo cards.
My new squares are
- created something new,
- laughed with somebody,
- expressed my feelings,
- took a walk,
- ate something delicious,
- spent time with an animal,
- danced,
- listened to music I love,
- improved the moment,
- observed just noticed,
- acknowledged progress,
- looked at something beautiful,
- gave somebody a hug,
- accessed a good memory,
- was playful,
- returned an email,
- made a helpful call,
- set a limit,
- smiled at a stranger, and
- expressed gratitude.
Bingo!
Here’s #14 (accessed a good memory):
Adding more photos to today’s post qualifies as #1 (created something new). Are any of these photos examples of self-care bingo?
Part of my self care has been watching this video of the Washington Nationals (up 2-1 in the World Series) spreading “Baby Shark” fever.
Here’s #20 (expressed gratitude):

I REALLY liked this post! I love the 20 bingo points. They are 20 points everyone can and should do every day. Thank you for a feel good start to the day!
Thank you for this lovely comment, Claudia! Communicating with you is good for my self care. ❤
Always give yourself a free space!
There’s always space for you here, beth! ❤
I’m going to add “Read something that makes you happy” to my self-care bingo and after reading your blog, hey, that’s a bingo!
After reading your comment, Chris, hey, that’s a bingo!
Now that’s great Bingo Ann. Love it ❣️
Love you, Val!
Your parents both look so much like you and I know from your many stories about them how much they loved you. My self care Bingo square for the world, would be for everybody to have a memory of their parents as loving as that.
I wonder if you know how much I love your comments, Maureen.
Lovely Bingo Ann and something all of us can make joy of 😀
The dogs and the cakes you be a part of self care…
Lovely comment, my friend.
I like the photo of your parents, Ann. I’m going to use that as a post for self-care because our parents , to an extend instil moral values, teach us about traditions and culture. It is they who initially give us a fundamental basis of our roots. Have a nice day, Ann
Thank you for making my day nicer!
Now I’m stuck with baby shark for the next 3 hours…………………at least!
Thanks for sticking this comment here, Peter!
The photo of your parents is lovely, Ann. Speaking of photos, I took one of the self-care bingo chart from your previous post. I pull it up as a reminder every day now. And we folks in the DC area thank you for the baby shark video. Go Nats!
This folk in Boston is thankful for the Nats, the joy of their run, and this lovely comment from you.
Self care of any sort is a struggle for me
You are not alone, Joanne. ❤

More bingo for us all thanks to you, Ann.
I didn’t have it in my bingo card that I would miss this great comment from you, Mark. Thanks, as always.
I love the self-care bingo game! It’s genius. And the photo of your parents is wonderful. I sure do see your resemblance to them. 🙂
I love your comments, Debra — they are wonderful for my self-care. Bingo!
