I admit, self care had slid by the wayside. MR.’S cancer journey has thrown us some curve balls so I have not been on top of my self care. I need to get back to me. Thanks for the reminder Drew. Love you Big Guy.

When going to work in the morning I like to listen to a meditation. After that I listen to your work. In the evening I will do another meditation to relax before going to sleep. Taking a walk at some point in the day helps me feel better to. The most surprisingly is cleaning. I feel a sense of peace and accomplishment after straightening up. Thank you for your work.

Thanks for your honesty Dtew. I am very guilty of not taking care of myself and most of the time I don't know it. People can and have taken advantage of that. It is sometimes so difficult to say no, but I have to for my own health.

I am like you I guess drew . My self care is not something I really know . I’ve had a life of getting on pushing on carrying on . All fell to bits over last two years , and I’ve been told and read so many times it’s ok to not be ok , take time out , do nothing , recover , but as I tried to do this , I e slowly isolated myself from the world , and trying to get back into the work seems all that more harder now , and scary . I guess self care is so different from everyone , but you are so right , that self care can become self pity , and then you are trapped , and convinced your broken . It’s hard for me to work out self care, as due to all the anxiety and depression , I’ve lost me and what I used to enjoy seems to have vanished from my knowing . But k know for sure , just feeling crap for yourself and doing nothing is not self care
