After completing treatment and regaining balance and health after cancer, there are many self care changes calling to be made. In my opinion, one of the most important is putting self first on the 'to do' list every single day. During the diagnosis and treatment phases (for me it was breast cancer & bilateral mastectomy) the self care involves going to appointments, sending time in medical institutions, hospital settings, and learning about options. Now that treatment is complete is a time to concentrate on being gentle with ourselves; options of a different sort.
Is it time to slow down? Is your schedule suited to the way you feel now? Are you being gentle with yourself? Being gentle with yourself doesn't mean that you're going into a cave or under the covers. It doesn't mean you're not accomplishing things that matter to you. It does mean that putting yourself on the 'care list' is important to do right now.
Is it time to watch less TV? Is it time to say no to volunteer commitments which no longer are fun? Is it time to join a walking club or a gym? Are you ready to try yoga? What sounds like fun to you?
Being compassionate with yourself can mean different things to different people. Might it be that it's something simple like getting more sleep each night? Figure out what adds to your positive energy and add more of that on to your schedule. You deserve it and it's up to you to arrange it. Yes you can!
