5 Tips on How To Take Better Care of Yourself

5. Be kind to yourself

I tend to get angry the moment I get sick and try and figure out what I did to cause it. The truth is that I will never know. Was it because I stayed up too late or was it because I sat next to a sick person on the plane?

It just doesn’t matter why. What does matter is taking care of yourself right now in this moment. I’m not a doctor, but I can pretty much guarantee that beating yourself up will do nothing for you.

What have you been missing in your healthy life? Maybe you can read that book you’ve been wanting to, catch up on a tv marathon, or just soak in a long bath with some lavender and eucalyptus oils.

I’ve done all of those and managed not to beat myself up about not making new recipes this week. It’s been easier for me because I’ve been breaking into a coughing fit if I walk across the room. I’m going to try and remember not to beat myself up about things once I’m healthy again.

What’s your tip for taking better care of yourself? Please let us all know by adding it in a comment below.

    I’ve been thinking that I was alone in my debilitating 2015 bronchitis. Your odyssey sounds exactly like mine! Thanks for sharing, now I don’t feel like I’m somehow to blame for this hanging on so lonnnnggg! The coughing just seems to lag forever. Longest siege of bronchitis I’ve ever had. I usually knock it out in a few days with oregano oil therapy. Not this year. I am eager for your ginger tea concentratre. Best to you Kathy and get well soon!

    I always look forward to your posts, but you should take a break when you need it. You gave some good advise here, reminding us to slow down and listen to our bodies – thanks.

    Kathy, I hope you are back to 100% soon. I’ve never seen anything like the bugs that went around this winter. Everyone in my office was sick for months; a couple of us ended up in hospitals. My tip, from a lesson earned the hard way: Ask for help. Sometimes we cannot do everything.
