Working Towards Wellness: February 2026

[itsfi]

Hello, BIC! I don't know about you, but self-care is always one of those things I know I should do, but some days are better than others when it comes to actually getting it done, or getting it done meaningfully. There's a lot going on, all around us. Some are good things, some are hard things, some are stressful. Some of those things are part of our every day, normal routines; some things are not normal at all. In either case, in all cases, it's important to take time, to make time, to look after our wellness. 

Wellness Bingo: February 2026

There are many ways to go about self-care, including this game of bingo. If you're new to wellness bingo (or BIC, for that matter), welcome! 👋 If you're returning for another month of wellness bingo here on BIC, welcome back! 🙌 As always, more information regarding wellness bingo as well as the self-care activities listed on this month's board can be found in the links below.

Description of Activities

• Row 1 & 2 Activities
• Row 3 & 4 Activities
• Row 5 Activities

Whether or not you choose to join in a game of wellness bingo here on BIC (at home or on the threads), please give yourself a little extra time this month to look after your wellness and the wellness of those around you. 

[NOTE: I took a slightly different take on this month's board, incorporating some themes within the self-care activities inspired by a few of the events and occasions we celebrate and honor this month, which I talk briefly about in the description of activities. One thing you will see is that some of this month's squares include words in quote, in addition to the self-care activity for a particular square. Those words are lyrics to one of the 6 songs nominated for Song of the Year at this year's Grammy Awards, which I made an effort to connect to the wellness activity - some connections required more creative license than others. A 🎶 emoji is noted in the Description section for those activities with a musical tie-in and that tie-in is discussed briefly at the end of the description of the particular self-care activity.]

@danielledanielle Excellent work!!!

[danielledanielle]

TY 😊 @Samtian 

[itsfi]

Yaaaay for squiggly hearts @danielledanielle! Out of curiosity, for your date yourself activity, did you go for a meal or do some activity? I'm needing some inspo for a future solo outing.

[danielledanielle]

There was two versions of this @itsfi 

1. Taking a walk to and from somewhere, with a cookie and listening to music
2. Chipotle+ CONAF (Conan)

Brain Teasers: I got completely sidetracked with my plan to do Wordle or Connections every day this month. I was preoccupied with trying to reach a certain level on another brain teaser / puzzle game. I did reach that level and have since deleted the app since I really don't need to spend any more time on it 😂, as entertaining as it was. I'll try again with making Wordle or Connections a part of a daily routine next month. Maybe I should start now to build up a cadence and routine for it? Hmmm ...🤔

Joy + Quiet Time: Several moments of joy this past week have come out of my quiet times, some just by virtue of having a few moments to think and be thankful, and others from the catharsis that can come from journaling.

Mental Health: This took the form of journaling; being intentional about not being on my phone or online too much, even when I have free time. I used that time to work on various projects around the house, including getting a jump start on spring cleaning and working on caring for a few plants - I was gifted 6 plants / flowers in the span of 3 months by 5 different people. I don't have the greenest of thumbs so this is going to be very interesting. 😆

Got close to clearing the board; I have some "to do's" and events to attend to the rest of this week so I won't have time to get around to the Plan It! box before the end of the month.

New wellness board has been uploaded. will be up Sunday, March 1, by or before 12noon Pacific Time.

Good luck with the plants I'm bad with them too @itsfi 

[itsfi]

Thank you @adamsev; it's been a week and they're all still here 😂

[Samtian]

Feb 17th was Mardi Gras so that's the theme for week 3!

[itsfi]

Congrats on your BINGO's @Samtian!

[Samtian]

@itsfi Thank you!! I wish my cats would learn to play Bingo and make me money. 

[danielledanielle]

That can be your something new for another month, 😁 🤣 @Samtian
