My thoughts

Dec. 28, 2020(Chapter 24 My Thoughts & Feelings and Chapter 26 MCI Tool Box in my book)

Selfcare is very important and it is not being selfish! To me, selfcare means that I need to take care of “me”. If I don’t’ do this, then I can’t be there for someone who needs me. This includes the fact that I need to always think about what is best for my cognition. If I know that going out with a friend is going to cause me stress, then I need to stay home. It might not be her who will cause me stress but it might be where we are going. This might depend on how I am functioning on any given day. I can still make plans but know that sometimes the best option is to cancel them.
