Sparkle: Self-Care Checklist 17+

I needed a tracker for my self care because it’s so easy to let go of yourself. Dealing with depression and anxiety can be rough, but this reminds me to take some time to not let go of myself. I can look back and see that I didn’t forget myself. Even being mindful that I’m making a note of how I’m taking care of myself is a big deal! I feel at peace knowing that I’m taking care of myself.

I downloaded this app to help for a psychology assignment in school. In class we learned about different anxiety disorders and how they can effect people differently and different treatments options for anxiety disorders. Some people aren’t able to do daily tasks that give them a lot of anxiety. I also personally have anxiety so, for me it is harder to do some tasks. With this app, it gave me inspirational reminders to be able to get what I needed to get done for the day. It also allowed me to reflect on my day and see what I was able to get done in a positive way which I feel could help other people who have anxiety doing simple tasks sometimes. It is very easy to use and I like that it’s free as well. Although I only used this app for a week, I could see it becoming a part of my daily routine.

Sparkle has become part of my daily routine and seriously helps me hold myself accountable as well as motivates me to get things done. I definitely recommend. It’s simple enough to use on a daily basis but also enough to keep me engaged. It helps you think of the positives of your day rather than the negatives.
