Hello everyone -
Loss of self-worth can hit at any age, circumstance or facet of life and today, I'm feeling it. The attached list inspired and reminded me in the moment of a difficult day that I can make changes. It's not about implementing everything on the list but ways to take small steps of self-help and self-care. Setting a goal and introducing one step each day, week or month can have a positive impact. Sometimes I get so inundated with symptoms and pain that I lose sight of the small ways to help myself. I've slacked off on breathing exercises so I'm choosing #4 to start with and recognize I can do a better job with consistency. Also #6, I've been feeling lonely so this morning I reached out to a friend to schedule a lunch date. Are there areas on this list that you could improve upon or begin implementing? Do you care to share any other ways or tips that help on your difficult days? I'm all ears.
Stay strong, my friends.
