I do really well with lists and once I'm focused, I do ok.<br /><br />Elizabeth, I'm so glad that this helped! I cannot imagine trying to get in self care when you have *three* other people asking for attention. One is bad enough. And I agree that my self care stuff has to go on my to do list otherwise it will *never* get done! Good luck with your self care. You deserve it.Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16179017575408367896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-928691692997483316.post-18650608832268997812010-02-10T19:52:54.368-06:002010-02-10T19:52:54.368-06:00Wow! I'm so glad I checked the blog tonight. I...Wow! I'm so glad I checked the blog tonight. I am also at a place where I'm realizing that I need to "renew" and am making progress toward this goal. Hence, my commitment to commenting on blogs instead of just lurking. Doing so helps me feel connected even when I am "stuck" at home with a toddler, a teenager and a senior citizen in my care. I am also easily distracted. In fact, I have walked away from this comment twice to take care of various things, including "seeking" my husband and daughter who were hiding behind our bedroom curtain and to take cupcakes out of the oven. Anymore, I think of the backtracking and running around that go with being easily distracted as exercise. I find the best way for me to stay focused is to work a to-do list almost every day. Anymore, I have to include self-care specifics on the list or I might ignore myself completely.

Just pick one. One thing that you're going to make a priority. After you've got that one integrated, pick something else to add or do. Every time I start thinking about priorities, I give myself a big list, then put it in order, then try to figure out time to do everything and pretty soon making priorities becomes the priority instead of actually doing any of the stuff on the list. I'm still working on it clearly. Good luck!Sonyahttp://mamatrue.comnoreply@blogger.com
