Looking after yourself

B

I often say to people 'look after yourself' and it reminds me that my father used to say it to me and it really resonated.

I didn't look after myself for a large part of my life and I'm reaping the effects now.

Do you think that you find it hard to put yourself first?

Do you find it hard to physically care for yourself?

I wonder if this is autism related.

  • I find it significantly hard to put myself first especially when it comes with physically taking care of myself. To me there’s so many challenges and sensory difficulties to navigate in basic day to day self care tasks it’s hard to keep up with them all. I recently had a bad bout of burnout so as I’m recovering I’m trying to think about ways I can make more time for myself and make these self care tasks more accessible. So far I’m doing pretty decent so I’m proud of myself.
