Self-Care
Most of this website is devoted to simple pragmatic methods that I find can be used for regular self-care or even to support ongoing therapy. Self-care is what we can do to support ourselves when we are aware that we may be able to achieve a better future but need a little guidance. I firmly believe that you don't have to know a lot nor think deeply for effective self-care, but we do need some simple insights, reminders, and sometimes appropriate direction.
I am building a diverse collection of my own self-care approaches for people to try out for themselves. These include new ways to change habits and addictions, new ways to support personal wellbeing, new ways to recover from depression or reduce anxiety, new ways to recover from pressure-induced burnout, new ways to uncover life-purposes, new ways to handle basic mood, and even new ways to address procrastination and prevarication. More work is needed and I will continue to add to these offerings as time and energy permit.
ps. I make no apologies for disrupting long-held views of the difficulty of dealing with some of these conditions.
When you are ready to make a change for the better, here are practicable resources that you can use at any time:
