Self Care Week: Poem

“What does self-care mean to me?”

Being able to relax in the bath with a mat so I don’t slip

Arrange my shopping for breakfast, lunch, dinner and tea.

Healthy food in my basket is it 5 or 7 a day can’t remember. Oh flip!

Let’s throw in an added treat one … two.. or THREE!

Trying not to over stretch in the trolley that’s the key

Ordering online if tiredness or work may prevent.

Having a balance of life, work and fun.

Feeling happy that’s what I meant.

Taking my medicine warfarin correctly even when busy on the run.

Discussing helpful advice from my GP

Is it important “self-care?”

My life, my future YES. It is to ME!
