    I posted this on the fb page today, and firmly feel this is where self care comes into its own..what’s your self care thingy today?

    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    No panic attacks but everything else is all too familiar lately. I had all the best intentions today when I got up at 6.20am. I took the bins out, made breakfast did all the washing up, run the hoover over and by 9.30am I was back in bed feeling sorry for myself again. I was hoping this doing something productive would make me feel good about myself, but instead of feeling good about what I’ve done I look at the things I still need to do and feel totally overwhelmed and end up shutting down. I spent all of yesterday in bed recharging and for what? I manage a couple of small tasks and I’m drained again.

    But you managed those tasks. That’s a win

    I keep trying to tell myself that. It’s better than nothing, but somehow it doesn’t feel like enough

    I find affirmations a little uncomfortable, but I can definitely see the benefit in something like this.

    I was out yesterday lunchtime and last night, so it was a busy day for me. The best I could do for self care was to sleep in the afternoon. Sometimes the simplest tools in your kit can be the most effective…..
