Self-Care In a Crazy World: How to Thrive When Things Get Tough

This book came together in 2020. The year of a pandemic, social unrest, political confusion and, in my area of Chattanooga, Tennessee, a tornado. This has been a tough year for all of us. It has been hard to find stability emotionally, physically, relationally. The constant onslaught of uncertainty, stress, and conflict has brought a fatigue. I think God has designed all of us to deal with transitory stress or stress that comes and goes, but not stress that lingers for months on end. This year has produced a fatigue that is affecting everyone’s life. It is perfectly normal to feel exhausted and overwhelmed when dealing with the emotions that come from prolonged stress and uncertainty. For some people this fatigue looks just like a low-grade depression in which people struggle with focus and concentration and seem to want to step back further away from life. For others it seems to create an agitation, anger, or reactivity to the world around them. Many feel weary, anxious, powerless, sad, frustrated, and irritable.

Self-Care In a Crazy World: How to Thrive When Things Get Tough

What is self-care? Self-care is everything you do deliberately for your physical, emotional and mental well being to help you deal with life when it gets tough. As simple as it sounds, many of us pay little attention to self-care. This is why ‘deliberately’ is one of the most important words in the definition. For most of us we are running so hard we don’t realize the fatigue and irritability of an exhausted life. You need to be conscious of your well-being before you can achieve true self-care. “Self-Care in a Crazy World” will guide you with simple practical steps to help you create resilience and strength to deal with life when it gets tough.
