Nearly two years ago, I wrote a post that served as a reminder that self-care is not selfish. Given the extent to which many of us are struggling with self-care during the coronavirus, I think the message of that old post is as relevant as ever.
Usually, when I feel that the message of an old post is relevant again, I republish the post. However, the original post was made under a set of circumstances that don’t exist now, so republishing the post would likely result in my significantly editing the post in a way that I think the post would become less powerful.
As such, instead of republishing the old post, I’m posting a link here to my original post on self-care. You can read the original post below.

Doctors always stress to care givers that they need to care for themselves so that they can be a help to others and it’s true if you don’t then you are just making the situation worse. A little time to do as you please can only help you and those involved with you.

Doctors are right…caregivers do need to take care of themselves in order to be of help to others. Though at times, I can definitely understand it feeling a little easier said than done.

When I was caring for my mom I got so rundown, she needed to finally go into a nursing/rehab facility and after the guilt went away I finally was able to sleep the night through. What a difference that made in my life and those around me.
