@kirstyes	Evening #occhat needed to do some IT stuff today so not too restorative. Feeling tired now so will take it slowly tonight.(Tue, 31 Jul 2012 20:06:24 +0100)
@clissa89	@kirstyes @Helen_otuk @mommagilly i’m willing to bet we’re all pretty tired tonight, im all for taking it slowly! 🙂 #occhat (Tue, 31 Jul 2012 20:06:57 +0100)
@kirstyes	One restorative activity rather than occ I’m rubbish at is drinking enough. Let my tea go cold earlier. #occhat (Tue, 31 Jul 2012 20:07:46 +0100)
@clissa89	Which occupations do you engage in to give you energy? #occhat (Tue, 31 Jul 2012 20:08:13 +0100)
@clissa89	@kirstyes I’m also v bad at drinking enough. must work on this But I eat plenty!! #occhat (Tue, 31 Jul 2012 20:08:54 +0100)
@clissa89	Been having stressful day today, so took a few minutes out to go into garden and look at/smell some lovely red flowers #occhat (Tue, 31 Jul 2012 20:09:53 +0100)

@DrieCulturen	@clissa89 You know what gives you lots of energy is being #creative in what ever you do. I enjoy writing & teaching: gives me enery #occhat (Tue, 31 Jul 2012 20:10:06 +0100)
@clissa89	@DebbiiHarrison restorative occupations are those that give energy. e.g. eating/drinking, self care, quiet focus activities #occhat (Tue, 31 Jul 2012 20:10:17 +0100)
@LeonoraOT	#occhat Hi, I’m up early so here but more lurking than participating I suspect #Australia #restorative #puylentils 😉 #humour =restorative(Tue, 31 Jul 2012 20:10:19 +0100)
@clissa89	@DebbiiHarrison for me, how restorative an occupation is depends on how much i’m focusing my attention on the experience #occhat (Tue, 31 Jul 2012 20:10:42 +0100)
@kirstyes	@clissa89 Sleeping is an important one for me and another I’ve been neglecting. Had good 10hrs last night though. #occhat (Tue, 31 Jul 2012 20:10:44 +0100)

@kirstyes	@TheSoapDragon Welcome. I’m poorly too. Hence choice of topic ;0) #occhat (Tue, 31 Jul 2012 20:13:17 +0100)
@pd2ot	@kirstyes #occhat Sleep is one I struggle with, I know I need to improve it as it’s never restorative, often more anxiety provoking!(Tue, 31 Jul 2012 20:13:35 +0100)
@clissa89	@kirstyes agree, sleep very important. lots of people struggle with this #occhat (Tue, 31 Jul 2012 20:13:46 +0100)
@clissa89	#occhat MT @DebbiiHarrison : @gilliancrossley @clissa89 I’m getting it now – good stuff especially enjoying nature, trees, flowers, mountains(Tue, 31 Jul 2012 20:14:13 +0100)

@kirstyes	@pd2ot Ffor me the actual sleep is PK but it’s a case of trying to fit just one more thing in? #occhat Is the thinking part anxiety inducing(Tue, 31 Jul 2012 20:15:05 +0100)
@pd2ot	@kirstyes @TheSoapDragon #occhat I hope you both improve soon!(Tue, 31 Jul 2012 20:15:28 +0100)
@Helen_otuk	Have to agree, my dog walks are great… in the woods, on the beach… even just at the local field. Love it! #occhat (Tue, 31 Jul 2012 20:15:30 +0100)
@clissa89	@pd2ot sleep so stressful if i’m struggling with it! i need my 8 hrs bt often feel i “should” be doing something better with my time #occhat (Tue, 31 Jul 2012 20:15:35 +0100)
@Symbolic_Life	#occhat Hey my lovely OTs… Exercise is my restorative occupation… #everydayificould (Tue, 31 Jul 2012 20:15:40 +0100)
@gilliancrossley	@kirstyes @clissa89 Sleep! ahh that would be so great! #occhat (Tue, 31 Jul 2012 20:15:59 +0100)
@kirstyes	Anyone else find organising/spring cleaning restorative. I’m hoping to find the energy to do some during my time off #occhat (Tue, 31 Jul 2012 20:16:19 +0100)
@clissa89	@Symbolic_Life thats v interesting as exercise uses energy, but i feel that too! feel so energised after even if worn out #occhat (Tue, 31 Jul 2012 20:16:22 +0100)
@clissa89	@kirstyes yes!! organising/spring cleaning restorative _if_ i have enough time to do it at a relaxed pace, listening to music #occhat (Tue, 31 Jul 2012 20:17:15 +0100)
@Helen_otuk	@kirstyes organising can be… clean no! #occhat (Tue, 31 Jul 2012 20:17:30 +0100)
@gilliancrossley	@clissa89 @kirstyes @helen_otuk @mommagilly #occhat do restorative occupations have to have any other purpose or is just restoration enough?(Tue, 31 Jul 2012 20:17:52 +0100)
@DebbiiHarrison	@Helen_otuk I think that gentle activity is more relaxing than relaxation exercises which just wind me up #occhat (Tue, 31 Jul 2012 20:17:58 +0100)
@Symbolic_Life	@clissa89 endorphins are realised..and feeling part of a social team promotes worth because you are the missing link in success.. #Occhat (Tue, 31 Jul 2012 20:18:16 +0100)

@clissa89	@gilliancrossley my favourite occupations are those that are restorative + productive + pleasurable, but sleep only R & i love it #occhat (Tue, 31 Jul 2012 20:18:35 +0100)
@gilliancrossley	@clissa89 @kirstyes #occhat I feel organizing is restorative! I felt great after doing a to do list this morning!(Tue, 31 Jul 2012 20:19:05 +0100)
