I'm glad you're addressing it as this neglected and dragged on can lead to bigger problems. Been there, done that and you're always paying the price. Now the ideal solution would be to eliminate the stress factors from your life, but that is not always possible, so you need a way to reduce it somehow.
Finding ways to relax or doing things that make you happy is also necessary. Unfortunately only you know what you can cut out of your life and what are the things that help you relax and recharge your batteries.
Take care of yourself as healthy is the most important thing.
You're right, self-care is critical; I can't help others if I can't help myself right?
I've got a pretty good handle on it but sometimes things spill over and aim have to up my self-care game. I'm ok though, pretty resilient which I think is also important. If I get really bad I'll have to enact the donut protocol: Coffee and donuts.
Thanks for your comment and thoughts, much appreciated.
