[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 683620, member: 11791"] It's so hard to deal with our own issues AND with our kids' issues... especially when they overlap. Yes, self-care is vital. But it isn't just any one thing, like walking. I find it pays to have a "menu" of helpful things. I might not feel like walking - too windy, or pouring rain, or icy underfoot. But I might feel like a nice bubble-bath soak. Retail therapy if I can afford it (I go with cash only, so I don't overspend). A small box of high-quality chocolates. A drive in the country side. Your list will be different. But start developing some options, so you have things to choose from. I haven't found very many occasions when I didn't feel like a nice bath, a cuppa tea, and a nice chocolate. [/QUOTE]
