The Art of War
While researching for this project I stumbled into The Art of War by Sun Tsu. What an interesting little book. Over the years, there have been a lot of books and internet articles applying his ideas to modern life. What I loved was the simplicity of his actual writings. Here’s a great quote that I thought might be useful for this project:
Know the enemy, know yourself,
And victory is never in doubt,
Not in a hundred battles.
He who knows self but not the enemy
Will suffer one defeat for every victory.
He who knows neither self nor enemy
Will fail in every battle.
So what is the enemy in your battle for Self Care? What or who opposes you? Very important to really understand what we are up against, I think. Equally important to know our own strengths and weaknesses, our limitations, our resources, and to understand the ground upon which we stand.

I think it's time to go shopping... maybe even buy some really cool stuff at my online shops!!
Sometimes I think my enemy is simply time… but I also think that as much time as I waste doing stupid stuff, the enemy might actually be my own mindless avoidance of … whatever it is that I’m avoiding in the moment… hmmmm…
My “enemy” is the training I received from my mother about how to deny myself in favor of taking care of others/her. I feel so guilty when choosing myself. Also these “woke” people who post all of these supportive memes. They are supportive until you are choosing yourself over them.
Totally with you on the “supportive “ memes… and I wish you the best when it comes to retraining your INNER mom to reflect someone more appreciative of YOU!
