Self Care Thursday *potential triggers*

[Paula]

Thursday is Self Care day on the DWD Facebook page and I thought it might be helpful to copy over some of the posts to the forum. Hope they help

This really touched me. So many people I care about constantly berate themselves for what they perceive as failures. It really is OK to need to take a moment and to climb your mountains in your own time.

I have so many self care pictures and posts I could use on the fb page, and not enough weeks in the year to use them. So I might occasionally put up a few that don’t get posted on fb. One of these is
