Part of me is definitely like this. I’ve been the earth mother, Now I’m trying to practice more selfcare.

Self care is so hard. When I feel especially bad, the last thing I'm inclined to do is something NICE for myself. But I'm trying. I bought bath bombs and a bathtub pillow and a device that makes the drain hole work less effectively. I have to say that it does help.

Problem is that when you feel horrible, it's hard to be nice to be nice to yourself.

Thanks for the reminder. I"m going to take a bath tonight before bed.

If you work on it every day it becomes a habit,

My husband and I decided that this is my year for self care... And you're right, it's learning to develop those little habits that feed your spirit.

[gerrerd in reply to NeuroSeeker]

You got it.

This is so true. All my life I have been the caretaker. Now that I am older any request for help is ignored.
