self care

I've been a little busy recently and had a few days off the SEP. Coming back to it last night and tonight and the focus is on self care. I took some time to think about it and had a chuckle when one of the prompts said that the gym doesn't count, lol. Tonight for some reason, I got thinking...

I'm finding these Johns Hopkins self-care through somatic movement videos to be fabulous for me personally. I've not been doing them for very long but so far my body and mind feel so much more peaceful. I therefore thought I'd share a link to them in case they might help anyone else on the...

I really enjoyed demonstrating some modes of working with our inner experience ---with awareness, self-compassion, and defending against the Inner Critic. Enjoy!

Let’s talk about another important concept. I like to call this one the difference between Self Care and Post Care. Both are important. One is more often overlooked. Post care as the name implies are activities or ways of thinking that we employ after a hard or stressful time. Giving...

One question that I get often is, “Am I journaling correctly?” Short answer: Yes. Longer answer: I completely understand the question and the worry behind it. I felt the same while going through my healing journey. We want to know that we are doing everything we can possibly do the best way...

Do you have a habit of intensity? I mean this in all seriousness. Do you approach your whole life with intense pressure? Intense expectations, intense responses to others, intense scrutiny of every thought and emotion that you have? Especially after learning about the mind/body connection...

Question: What do you purely love to do for enjoyment? Not what you should do, need to do, or would make tomorrow run more smoothly…but what you JUST LOVE DOING…for the pure reason that you relish it. Got your answer? Now, how many hours have you spent doing these things in the past week? No...

Hi all, Back after a hiatus. There has been a lot of improvement- actually. The symptoms have improved and I feel better. The fear is also much less- including the obsession. I still struggle with the persistent fear of re-injury or the fear of pain; feeling pain, so decided to go back into...

What do you do for self care? Daily or weekly. I have a list with things that I do and choose from them, do not do them all in the same day. But many from the list. - meditate; - stretching; - cook something very simple, can be a fruit salad; - knit outside on the balcony, in the sun; - take a...

How to self love for Valentine's Day. Nice, simple. I like the channel and wanted to share. Enjoy. Take care.

Its happening again! Yesterday my pain was 0% and I felt good. Today something more got relaxed in my hip/pelvis, and it felt like a joint moved back (in a good way). So in addition to feeling no pain I´m also feeling very moveable and limber (even affecting my neck and eye muscles to relax...

I don't consider myself a depressive person but know I suffer from regular anxiety. I consistently overcome that anxiety to do some cool things and it does not debilitate me. But every December I struggle with circumstantial /holiday season-stress chronic pain. You name it, I feel it...

I have just read the day 5 comment from the writer about finding it hard to figure out what things they enjoy. I am at day 37 and have run up against the same issue - what self-care do I do? Or rather - I feel very stuck re what to do to self-care. I have always had such a drive to "do" and...

hello all! I’m still new to accepting and learning about TMS. Does lack of sleep ever exasperat your symptoms? I’ve had a really stressful couple of nights and the pain seems to be back today. I’m not trying to give it satisfaction by paying attention by its soooo hard. I just wanted to...

@Sonic brought up an important point in a recent thread regarding embarrassment and negative self-talk: "I can relate to your post mate and there is something you mention there that relates to my past expeperiance about past embarrassments. If you are ruminating and thinking of these often then...

Since I visit the TMS Wiki during my lunch break at work, I'm not able to post very often. But, recently I've been seeing more folks becoming increasingly desperate because of the long time it's taking them to heal. Even those that are fully committed to the belief and practice of TMS. I am one...
