Fibro friend, what are you doing for YOU today?

Does that sound selfish? Well, it shouldn't. 

If you have a family, a spouse, or simply friends who depend on you and love you, you need to LOVE yourself and treat yourself well.

WHY? Isn't that selfish? I still don't get it..? , you say?


Well, if you don't take care of YOU, you know all too well what happens. 

You get anxious, irritated, frustrated, overwhelmed and STRESSED. Then your symptoms grow. Whether it's those GI symptoms, you pain level, the fatigue from being emotionally and mentally taxed. 

It's Saturday (or was). Let's start today and declare Saturday the "What I'm doing for MYSELF DAY!!!" 

Commit to this day and make  a list of things that you can do for YOU. 

They do not have to cost a lot. OR, if you have financial resources, maybe you can afford an expensive treat. 

But I'm here to tell you that you don't need to spend a lot of money to take a walk, a jog, a drive or visit with a friend over coffee.

Some of your best YOU times, will be those where you don't spend a dime. Get out your journal (what do you mean you don't have one?!?!) and get to work on your ideas for making Saturday (or whatever your day off is) your taking care of ME day! 


I'm going to walk, get caught up on some things around the house that I want to do! Also, I'm going to tell everyone that we're doing a soup night....pic your soup and I will supply a salad and bread. That's dinner.

I need to lower my stress. I'm also going to go to mass today at 5 pm. 


What will you do for YOU today??

I'd love to hear your ideas. 

Until later then......

Blessings.....

Mo M.
