I’m trying to get my head around this blog post.
As y’all know I do a monthly “feature” called “Self Care Day on the 6th” that was inspired a couple of years ago by a frustration that Sarah summed up beautifully this time last year. I typically remind folks to do their self checks and have mammograms as well as to do other self care not related to cancer prevention/detection.
Last month I talked about ultrasounds for dense breasts and the fact that I had 6 friends in active treatment (and one in hospice).
Then my sweet mother-in-law was diagnosed — she found a lump and went in immediately to have it checked out — and it’s breast cancer awareness month and I don’t know what to say other than this stuff sucks and I want her and everyone else to just be okay.
So, there.
Please be okay.
And do your self exams.
And take some time to rest in a way that is restorative to you.
And be kind to one another.
all good advice, plus try to lower the stress and anxiety in your life! That “stuff” ain’t healthy or beneficial for nobody!
I love that you mention the toxic nature of stress, Ned Andrew. I was actually thinking about that as I worked on this post.
Peace and ease, Dear.
unfortunately, I give myself daily doses of both, with absolutely no good reason!
How about you stop doing that?
(I know, easier said than done, but still doable. 🙂 )
