No doubt, Zoo! Focusing on self care is new for me, and it's not a very ingrained response. So it's those stressful times we revert back to the old habits. I'm trying to subtlely shift the focus from being upset over what I feel or what I did to what I can do. For me, it helps if I can link it to caring for others- for instance, my Dad is out of town and I am watching his dog. So the walk I took tonight was to exercise his dog and help him.. that's what got me out the door. But when I was enjoying our walk, I realized- hey- I'm getting excerise- something I know helps me and I need more of. Left to my own devices I probably would not have walked tonight, but tonight, responsibility to others helped me too. My T knows this and when I struggle to change, she often puts in light not of my pain, but my daughters'. She doesn't use it often but it's a very effective secret weapon.
