- Are You Putting Everyone Else's Needs Before Your Own?
By: Connie Allen | - The message this time of year is "Joy!" and "Make Merry!" But is this really what you're feeling as you haul yourself out of bed in the morning, get your children to school, rush through your day and arrive home to make sure homework is done and your children are in bed on time? And squeeze in shopping and parties?
Probably not. Joy is often postponed until a later date when you have the time or for a special event.
If you're like many moms - and dads, too - you e ...

- Natural Health: Can We Really Reduce Our Chances Of Cancer By Good Self Care?
By: Harriet Denz Penhey | - There is some really important research coming out in the biomedical journals that few people ever make the time and effort to read. This is a pity because it has a direct impact on how doctors should support you and treat you when you get sick.
You have to remember that doctors are very busy and have to make a living like any other single person or family out there in the community. Doctor's aren't paid for staying up to date with the medical literature and there are literally thou ...

- 5 Ways To Avoid Burnout As A Solopreneur
By: Diane Carlyle | - One of the biggest challenge entrepreneurs, especially those who work at home, face when building their businesses is burnout. When you're working at making your business a success, it's easy to overlook something as simple and prosaic as your self-care. You think to yourself, I'll have time to exercise/eat well/relax when the business has reached such-and-such level. After all, you're passionate about your business, and all your energy is naturally devoted to making it a success.

- Natural Healing: Use The Sun Reduce Cancer Risk
By: Harriet Denz Penhey | - For years now we have been exhorted to avoid the sun, to cover up and to use sun screen so we can avoid getting skin cancer. However unfortunately it looks as though we have thrown the baby out with the bathwater. We desperately need some sun on our skin to make vitamin D, and a lot more of it than the doctors and health people have been recommending for a long time.
We have known for years that we need vitamin D and calcium for strong bones and the recommended vitamin D levels were ...

- Do You Ask For Help When You Need It?
By: Paula Gregorowicz | - "How come you didn't ask for help?"
"Oh, I didn't want to bother anyone..."
I can't tell you how often I hear this from people. In our quest to be independent, self-sufficient, and successful, we often avoid the very thing we most need to do - asking for help. When you find yourself stuck, struggling, overwhelmed, or afraid, what is your first line of action? Do you ask for help or do you fill your head with stories like:
* I don't want to bother ...

- 5 Simple Ways To Care For Your Soul
By: Michelle Casto | - In today's challenging times, there seems to be less and less time to do soul-nourishing activities. However, every ultra successful person knows a secret ingredient to success which is often over-looked, that of being "balanced" and taking plenty of down-time to rest, refresh and rejuvenate.
As the Soul Coach, I am here to help you reconnect with that inner part of you that is longing to be free, happy, and joyful. Every client I have worked with has a unique combination to ...

- How To Make Monday Mornings Magnificent
By: Michelle Casto | - Thomas Edison once said "If we all did what we were capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves." And he should know since he used his intuition and persistence thousands of times until he found the correct combination to produce light.
Too often in life we settle for relationships, work, and situations that do not bring us fully alive. It does not have to be this way. Not at all. You can let other people settle for mediocrity, while you choose magnificence.

- Self-care As A Mom: Whose Permission Are You Waiting For?
By: Amy E. Willard | - When it comes to identifying our own needs and taking care of ourselves, a lot of us moms have a very difficult time with this. Many of you can probably relate, at least to some degree. I know this was a real struggle for me, especially early on in my years of mothering.
When I first became a mom, I can recall devoting every ounce of energy I had to my new baby. That is what most of us do, right? Well, this trend continued for some time, and eventually I found my reserves running ...

- Let Yourself Receive!
By: Lea Houston | - Last week, my mother came to stay with me after having an emergency appendectomy. It was a joy to be able to pamper her. Mom's graciousness in receiving my care taught me important lessons about the healing power of skillful receiving. She, who is always the caretaker of others, softened into the pleasure of being cared for, responded with heartfelt appreciation and deeply opened to my love and attention. It is so fun to do for someone who receives so well!
Many of us find it much ...

- Quick Fixes To The 3 Big Energy Zappers
By: true2you | - Moms today are running on empty. In the morning, we fill up on a quarter tank of coffee (or our equivalent gasoline), and then try and engage in activities that require a full tank. What happens when our fuel runs out? We get tired, irritable and just plain unproductive, due to our lack of energy. While some moms have learned to operate on adrenaline, the long term effects on our health are detrimental.
I know from talking to many moms that it's not what moms want. We want to ...

- Burnout, Self Care And Setting Boundaries
By: Evelyn Bos | - Burnout does not happen over night. It is the result of a constant chipping away of one's energy, love, inspiration, and passion by consistently relinquishing one's power to others and allowing external forces to dictate the course of one's life (Robinson, 2007).
Burnout comes from always giving and never getting. It comes from futility, from trying and working hard and never getting anywhere. Any situation where we give and give and receive little, anything that makes heavy dem ...

- Journaling - A Self-care Practice
By: true2you | - When many of us think of self-care, we immediately think about all the things we should be doing for ourselves but aren't. We remind ourselves we should exercise or start eating healthy. We might even think about getting out to enjoy a cup of coffee with a friend. Some moms express a desire to spend more time with God. If we're really fantasizing about self-care, we might even dream about getting a massage, taking a nap, or going away to a spa for the weekend. But the reality is moms strugg ...

- Whiplash Treatment
By: Peter Hutch | - Whiplash is a relatively common injury that occurs to a person's neck following a sudden acceleration-deceleration force, most commonly from motor vehicle accidents. The term "whiplash" was first used in 1928. The term "railway spine" was used to describe a similar condition that was common in persons involved in train accidents prior to 1928. The term "whiplash injury" describes damage to both the bone structures and soft tissues, while "whiplash associated disorders" describes a more severe an ...

- Neck Pain "€" Causes, Symptoms And Self Care
By: Peter Hutch | - The neck (cervical spine) is composed of vertebrae that begin in the upper torso and end at the base of the skull. The bony vertebrae along with the ligaments (which are comparable to thick rubber bands) provide stability to the spine. The muscles allow for support and motion. The neck has a significant amount of motion and supports the weight of the head. However, because it is less protected than the rest of the spine, the neck can be vulnerable to injury and disorders that produce pain and re ...

- Mom's See-saw
By: Debi Silber, MS, RD, WHC | - Have you ever seen two children riding on a see-saw? It can be very interesting to watch depending on who is on either side. For example, if there is a large ten year old on one side of the see-saw and a small five year old on the other, the ten year old will be sitting on the ground, grumbling and saying how bored he is because the see-saw will not lift up. The five year old will probably be either panicking from the extreme lift off or wondering when and how she will ever get back down again. ...

- Self Nurture
By: Char Cooper RN, MSN, APRN | - An important part of wellness and overall feeling good is Self Nurture. What is self nurture? In a nutshell, it's taking time for yourself. Wow, I can almost hear some of you yelling "Time for myself! I don't have time for myself! I'm too busy!" But if you don't take time for yourself, what quality of yourself are you offering others?

- Reclaim Life Through Transition
By: Lynne Morrell | - One of the experiences that we can count on in this life is change. Transition. We are going along living our life and all of a sudden the way we experience life is altered. The changes we encounter can be varied, from the joy of having a new baby to the grief of a loved one dying. All transitions give us a new opportunity to reclaim our lives!
Many transitions have a sense of loss. Even if you are moving into an amazing new life, there may be times at which you grieve the old wa ...

- 10 Self-care Secrets For Slimming Down
By: Tricia Greaves | - When experts lecture us on weight loss, it is usually all about exercise, calories and carbs. That is good information, but from one compulsive eater to another, I have provided some other tips that do not usually make the diet books. They will require some effort, but I have found them to be essential to proper self-care and weight loss.
1. Sleep: It is so easy to overeat when we are tired. We reach for food to keep us going, thinking we will have more energy the more we eat. Ju ...

- The Six Benefits Of A Women's Retreat
By: Karin Marcus | - There is something very special about the experience of being on retreat with a group of women. For the past several years, I have been both leading and going on a variety of retreats. The ones solely for women have always been the most moving and fruitful. When I look back on my experiences, there are six benefits that immediately come to mind. Sisterhood: "A sister is one who reaches for your hand and touches your heart." (unknown) Women intuitively understand each other. We share so many si ...

- Self-care For Adults With Add: Put On Your Oxygen Mask
By: Jennifer Koretsky | - Take a moment to think about what happens when you get on an airplane. Before the plane takes off, the flight attendants outline safety procedures and inform you that, should the oxygen masks drop down, you must put yours on before you help anyone else. This is an excellent metaphor for self-care.
Many adults with ADD skimp on self-care. It's not easy to balance the many demands of family, career, health, friends, and personal interests. Add ADD to that mix and you can get some ...

- Snoring At Night? Try These Self-care Tips
By: D. Azogue | - People used to laugh and make fun of your loud snores you make each night. But time passes and you realize it's not funny anymore. Your kids start complaining, and your wife is sleeping in the other room.
But what makes someone snore anyway?
At night, when you are in deep sleep, the throat and other tissues relax, causing the throat tissues to sag. When the air passes through the airway as you breathe, the air vibrates and hence, snoring occurs.

- Invisible Women
By: Sharron Phillips | - Copyright 2006 Sharron Phillips
There is no advantage to becoming invisible when you fall in love, marry, become a wife, mother, caretaker. Everyone loses. You, your spouse, your children, your friends. The disappearing act can happen subtly and may take a while. Then one day, you realize you don't know whom you are anymore.
Here are 4 questions to ask yourself to check if you have lost yourself.
1. Do you say what you really mean?

- Dude, Where's My Gratitude?
By: Jennifer Louden | - I'm writing this miles above the earth, sitting in a steel capsule, hurtling through space on my way to give a speech. (Writer Anne Lamott says she doesn't believe in flying. I know what she means.)
The title of my speech is "Creating All That You Need With Just What You've Got", which as many of you know, is the subtitle of my book, The Comfort Queen's Guide to Life.
When I choose the title for my talk, I was thinking only about giving the hospital a catchy title ...

- The Comfort Queen Sallies Forth Unbidden, But Deeply Needed
By: Jennifer Louden | - I write to you from the box of the icky place. The walls of the icky place are constructed of out of whack hormones, sadness over my Aunt's death, a healing crisis from a nutritional program (which allows NO chocolate, that alone should give you some idea of my mood), and my overwhelmed feelings when faced with the scope of what I am attempting to create. The dominant characteristic of the icky place is to want out--out of my skin, out of this mood, out of the moment.

- Creative, Connected Self Care
By: Jennifer Louden | - Most self care materials are related to how you manage your own needs when taking care of others, especially when other people are ill or incapacitated. Since there are so many resources out there already related to that angle, this article fleshes out the idea of self care in a couple of directions. The first relates to how we creatively care for ourselves when we are feeling full, luscious, and charged with energy. I love it when I wake up and for no apparent reason I feel on top of the worl ...

- Improving Self-esteem With A Little Tlc
By: Wendy Betterini | - It is so important to take time to do nice things for ourselves. Especially for those of us who spend much of our time helping and caring for others, it is too easy to neglect ourselves and become worn out, stressed out and run down.
Self-pampering is not about being selfish. It's about taking proper care of yourself and treating yourself as kindly as you treat others. We spend so much time and effort caring for our spouses, children, pets, friends, family members, employers and e ...

- How Can We Be There For Others If We Don't Take Care Of Ourselves?
By: Suzanne Holman | - If you're at all like me, you may have a difficult time taking care of your own needs when someone close to you is having a particularly stressful time.
Whether it is a health-related matter, business crisis, or any other serious concern, it is so easy to lose track of ourselves and our own needs.
In order for us to be continuing support, we have to have the resilience to keep going. Without proper self-care, the resilience will decline and we will become more v ...
