Self-Care

I've never been called that before!!!

That's a tough one for me.

I read an article about self care last week. It was by a doctor who said the trend of bed rotting (laying in bed doing nothing) is toxic, she said the idea that self care means shirking all responsibilty laying in bed or taking time to spoil yourself at a spa while ignoring urgent life needs is wrong.

Her idea is that taking it easy isnt a crime but real sslf care is making sure your home is the healthiest you can make it, making food choices that will aid your body not add to your problems , keeping all health appointments, regularly taking your meds etc.

I have to say I tend to agree Ive never seen the point in taking to bed and yelling woe is me..

Same here.

Every so often I'll have a lie-in: but I don't make a habit of it.

And you're right Cassie: looking after the home/keeping health appointments/taking prescribed medication regularly. It is false to say self-care is expensive spas and lying in bed all day.

But I do enjoy lying in bed when the opportunity presents itself.

Yes but you dont neglect your home or your health which is what the dr was talking about.
