If Only!

I saw an ad for a game on Facebook and my first thought was…”if only it was this easy to take care of ourselves!”

Which brings me to what I want to explore today:

• Why isn’t it easy?
• What is the hardest part of self care?
• Is there something really simple that would make it easier?
• What if self care ACTUALLY IS easy, and we just THINK it’s hard?
• Do I overthink it?
• Maybe if instead of thinking about being considerate of me, I just did it?

I realize that it’s just a video game, but if I had a dollar for every time I wished I could just…  OH WAIT! I just watched it to the end… it’s all about choices, isn’t it?

Here it is in action. I really really wish it was this easy in real life!!

Note: If you saw this before, you’ll notice that I had to move the video because it covered up part of the text when I looked at it on my phone.

So now, I’m wondering…

• How many times did I choose dynamite instead of matches when it came to making decisions for myself?
• What about you? In your personal life do you choose the “cozy rocker” or the hard wooden chair?

And isn’t this what life is all about really? Making choices and then dealing with the consequences?
