What is self-care?

mhahaha Seriously, I am thankful for your response--but except for getting on here (and it's not time I could spend on anything else) I don't think I can do much in that line. I do remember my drops for glaucoma and get to the dentist, etc. But time and money...it's always time and money for all us here, isn't it?

It means making time for your needs and desires instead of leaving them at the end of the list. So schedule in time daily, weekly, monthly to do the things that you enjoy - if not a pedicure then maybe a movie, or lunch with friends, or hanging out at the mall, whatever hobbies and activities you used to have time for but don't make a priority any longer. Maybe get together with your friends once a month, or more often. Stay involved with your faith community if you have one. Join a support group. Keep up with your dental and doctor check ups, and make time every day for some fresh air and exercise , even a walk around the block can really help with stress.
