Proper aftercare is essential in all walks of life.<\/p>\n

Sometimes I wish I’d take better care of myself. I wash my hands and forearms. I wash my face and neck. I have washcloths. I moisturize my skin when I remember, though I know I should take better care.<\/p>\n

So it’s like, I should remember to rinse my mouth out and drink some water after smoking.<\/p>\n

I should hydrate and remember to urinate regularly.<\/p>\n

More yoga. More stretching. More deep breathing. More beneficial health things that I don’t commonly do for myself. But that I should.<\/p>\n

Beforecare, aftercare, and during care are all necessary things.<\/p>\n

Only water goes in the eyes. A lot of it.<\/p>\n

Closed-toe shoes. Ones that are lightweight and you can run in, but with soles thick enough to step on broken glass.<\/p>\n

I bought some lightweight robes. I may set up a little wardrobe near the front door. That way if someone gets called out of bed without time to dress, there’s a chance of putting on a robe. It gets chilly at night\/in the early morning.<\/p>\n
