Self-care it’s a buzz word at the moment. As someone that has said self-care is really important & a huge part of my role,making sure family members take it. Seeing it as a buzz word annoys me as it’s not taken seriously. This week, I have had to heighten mine. I’ve felt flat & isolated, even though I’m not. It’s an odd spot to be in. Recognising where this is coming from is the challenge, & I become snappy dragon Ann 🐉 in 1 second 🤦🏼‍♀️😂 Yesterday I worked from home to see sunshine & greenery & the love from pets with an amazing affect, they sit at my feet. Meditation last night & chill day today. I still found myself being grumpy & snappy. I forced myself to the GLA:D program with my physio & my drive to & from gives me over 1 hour to be with my thoughts. I use this for self awareness. The narrative I feed myself, you are ok, keep pushing through, think of all the good things, be grateful! Nope if I’ve learnt anything it’s to honour the dark. So tonight I’m grumpy, lots of reasons why. I have to sit with it, not easy but today isn’t fairies 🧚‍♂️ rainbows 🌈 & unicorns 🦄 . It’s mushrooms 🍄 darkness & dungeons. And that is perfectly “normal” I’m not going to ignore it, I’m giving it what it needs, love, kindness & compassion 🤔where have I heard that before 😉 No tasks I need to do Household chores can wait Hot chocolate, PJs & slippers on Book & journal in hand I shall write whatever the fudge I feel, feel whatever it is I need to & see what happens
