I needs to work on physical activity. Right now, I have a torn Achilles tendon, which is keeping from being very active.
I'm good at putting things into perspective so I don't get too worked up about them.
@amiablePeace77
The whole idea of self care is alien to me. I'm so used to helping others and being there for my loved ones, when I hear other people saying how they are good to themselves, it seems strange to me, because I feel guilty doing things for me, as if I should always be on the clock, so this is a whole new learning curve for me 🥰💜
@Amanda84
I hear you on the caregiver part. My wife and I are caregivers to our daughter (44) who lives at home and had Downs Syndrome. Some days are smooth others can be trying. I try to be the strong one for both of us.
I excel at gratitude journaling, daily affirmations, meditating, eating healthy and taking vitamins and minerals and other nutritional supplements, doing my self help apps.
I can work on but am improving in are the amount of daily exercise and my sleep habits.
@azureAcres1605
Seems that you're doing a great job in self-care! Glad you want to work on exercise and sleep 👍
Thank you. ❤️

@amiablePeace77
I think the only self-care I excel at is making sure I see a doctor regularly. With a busy work and family life there is no time for self-care.
Where I need work.......
I have been trying to loose weight and get fit but never seem to find the time to exercise regularly or eat healthy most days.
@braindamag3
Good that you do not miss out on your regular doctor appointments! I can imagine that it can feel difficult to take out time for yourself when you're so busy. I needed to learn to schedule and stick to it. It became a solid routine. Something I found out as well is that with enough self-care my digestion is much better and as far as I know it also impacts the way the body stores fat, so self-care to calm down might help with losing weight too in addition to a healthy diet and regular exercise.
