Making a commitment to self-care, and keeping it!

Making a commitment to self-care, and keeping it!

Hi everyone,

Back in December, we ran a Topic Tuesday about stressors over Christmas. At the end of the session, a number of people made commitments to certain activities to keep well over a potentially stressful time.

So firstly, I wanted to check in with @MEB @Former-Member , @coffeegirl @Shaz51 to see if they maintained their commitment. If you can't remember, you can check out page 6 & 7 for what you wrote.

Let us know how you went.

Often we put our own mental health, life plans and desires on the backburner when we are in a caring role for a loved one. Actually - our own priorities are often the first to go!

I thought we could start a thread where people could share their self care plan and use this thread as a way to be accountable for your self-care commitments.

What do you want to commit to?

Good to hear @Shaz51 - now make it a regular thing or at least an equivalent activity.
