This continuing effort to be 'okay' in the midst of life's demands, not feeling well, side effects of medications, and feeling down is wearisome. In fact, it demands so much. Of course, so does the life of those who work day in and day out and don't have a medical condition. So, there it is. No one has it easy. Even if they appear to, it doesn't mean they do.
Everyone of us takes on responsibilities and requests when we shouldn't. I say shouldn't because it's true. How many times have you said 'yes' to something and realized you really don't have the time or energy to do it? The next time your poised to accept another task, ask yourself this question: Am I managing my wellness?
Think about it, your wellness. Do you have a wellness plan? If so, are you following it? Are you thinking about what you really want out of this life? This time here...What can you do to make your life better?
Here's a challenge, make it a point to talk with your coach or someone your trust about how to put yourself first--to engage in self-care. If you need to rest, then rest. If you need to say no, say no (without feeling guilty), if you need to scream, scream! Just take care of you and manage your wellness. What better time than June?
