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
I completely understand how you feel Simon. I have stopped working and find I don’t know what I enjoy anymore. I made my world small and now I’m struggling to get back to it. I guess self care is, like you and Drew said, different for everyone. Maybe part of it will be finding joy again in the things we used to enjoy. I know getting back to life is the way out, Drew has shown us that. I just wanted to tell you, as you probably know, you are not alone. We can do this self care thing, but just do what makes us feel whole again and not what other people say self care is.
Thanks Theresa and sorry you going through this too. I am very hard on myself . I have this I SHOULD BE AG WORK, IM FAILING AT LIFE ETC . Own worst enemy
Loved reading this I formation, and look forward to your wonderful messages everyday. They really make you stop and think about your life. Thank you 😊

I totally get it. I’m hard in myself for where I am at too. It takes time but we can have it all back. I wish you the best!
