Here’s the sad thing: I immediately respond to the article’s suggestions with a knee-jerk, gut-level feeling of “Don’t tell me to do things your way, you left-brainiac!”

Even though those routine-following, organized people do have success at following through with weight-loss and other endeavors, I have such a strong reaction to being told to try to be like “them.” I’m not made that way!

And yet…my novel remains unfinished and my exercise needs remain unmet.

now onto ur question. i dont understand what u mean by self care and the creative life being synonymous.

as ricky ricardo would say, “Splain lucy!”
