I have just discovered your article and just wish why I haven’t discovered it sooner. Just LovE, LOve, LOVe your ‘self-care resume’ idea to make yourself seriously commit to your wellness. We seriously need tangible things in our lives like art, herbal teas, music, etc, and self-care rituals like long walks, yoga, doodling, spa day at home dates, good coffee, pets in our lives to nurture our body, mind and soul. I have my own self-care rituals in place that helped me immensely in surviving through the pandemic. Ad they are now part of my life. I would be implementing your ideas into my self-care routine.

Self-care is so important and it takes more people like you spreading that in the world for others to latch on! Self-care is not selfish. You can’t help others if you are not taken care of first.
Thank you for writing this!

Hi John:

Thank you so much for taking the time to read and comment here. Figuring out how to make self-care workable in each person’s life is such an individual process, and I find a lot of it is about the attitude we have about taking care of ourselves. I’m so glad you found this helpful. Good luck with your book and all your endeavors. Cheers! Amy

Your article is one of the best I have seen in my research on self-care. Congratulations! You outline a model for self-care that is obviously real in your own life. And it is workable for anyone. Can I encourage you to keep thinking around this. You are a leader in this area, whether you know it or not.
I am writing a book on Self-Leadership which includes a whole section on self-care.
Your article and the attitudes behind it which obviously fuel your creativity are profound and need to be shared.

Hi Kiz:

Welcome to Mindful Art Studio! I am guessing there are a lot of folks who can identify with your story. I’m heartened to hear that some of the information here will be helpful to you. It’s amazing how our bodies can pull us to a halt and make us pay attention isn’t it?

What are you doing creatively, I wonder? Do you cook? Write? Draw? Paint? Crochet? You might also enjoy our Facebook group, Creative Self-Care. It’s a really wonderful group of supportive, creative folks all trying to create and take care of themselves well: https://www.facebook.com/groups/creativeselfcare/

Cheers,
Amy

Like most the name sounded familiar but I really knew nothing about it. It can be caused by prolonged stress amoung a couple other ways. Stress can trigger a flare after you think you have been doing every thing right to controll the pain and fatigue to be at a managable level. I dont work currently because of my unpredictable condition. Always when working my self care was that on pay day I would buy myself a new outfit or make up and on a more stressful day I motivated myself by going out to lunch at a great relaxing place. That was my extent of my self care. After being diagnosed I realize my self care has to be a main focus and your article may be what Ive needed to help me get this started… so I thank you.
