What do you do to look after youself and show yourself some "self compassion"?
A cup of coffee or tea?
Stop and smell the roses?
Listen to the birds?
Some deep breathing exercises?
Take the dog...or just yourself... for a walk?
Exercise? Yoga? Tai Chi?
Meditate?
Whatever it is, be kind to yourself and acknowledge that while lymphoedema is a tough road you are doing the best you can.

These are just some of the wonderful positive ideaas and support that come from being in a support group.

Join LAA to access this and more resources before the end of this financial year and take advantage of all there is to offer.
