Both Nat and Michael have written about the need to rest and relax.  Whether out of the country or at home, they both express how difficult this task is for them, even when sick.

I have a low ability to rest, focus on self care and just relax.  Being self employed, I tend to work any and all hours of the day or night, justifying it because I’m “self employed”.  I leave messages for people in the early morning or late night hours.  With my laptop on the kitchen bar, I assume yoga poses while typing treatment plans and intake summaries. Sometimes, in order to remind myself, I create a list of behaviors and actions that indicate self care, a reminder to me about what I need to do to unwind and take a deep breath.

Today, for self care, I will take a yoga class.  What will you do?
