b) I build routines - morning: take meds, eat banana, make coffee, meditate, then complete my journal where I list:
1. something I will read or write that day
2. a self-care skill I will use (often CBT based but not always)
3. self-nurturing I will do - and this is important, even if it's just I will listen to my favourite song while I sit on couch
Then in evening, more journal:
1. what did I achieve today (made the bed!)
2. what did I learn today (how to draw dragons)
3. what can I improve (validating my family)
4. what can I plan for tomorrow (take dog to vet)
5. what skill or strategy can I use to cope (hug the dog mindfully)

Hi Everyone,
Ive had to learn self-care. It's been very difficult because I'm so used to giving, not receiving. So when I do any thing for myself, I feel guilty.
Im still working on it.

As part of self-care, I schedule in self-care time. This includes physical exercise, eating and sleeping at regular times.
This helps a lot. I find when I disregard these things, my mind ends up scattered and everywhere.
