Hello all! Welcome back to my blog! I have talked a lot about being a person with a disability here on my blog.
I was born with my disability, but many people with a disability were not. The disability group is unique in that it is one minority group where people become part of it at any time. Accidents can happen, or illness can lead to disability. Also, as a person gets older, there is a large chance of them becoming disabled. Of all people with a disability, half are age 65 or older in my country of the United States. Overall, approximately 1 in 4 adults are living with some type of disability in the United States.
Unfortunately, some people have a disability that is debilitating enough to keep them from working. Fortunately, there is financial support available for such people. One program set by the United States government is Social Security Disability Insurance or SSDI. With SSDI you can receive financial support monthly. If you are dealing with a disability, you can get help to find out if you are eligible for SSDI and even how much money you might get each month from Disability advocacy group Disability Advice. A post with an SSDI calculator and details about SSDI benefits can be found on their website.
The post was written by Linda Cosme, JD. She has extensive experience as a lawyer and advocate for people with disability. She is currently Vice President of Disability Policy and Strategy at an advocate organization called Citizens Disability. Independent Legal Consultant for those seeking SSDI, appeals officer for the Social Security Administration, and Case Adjudication Specialist for Disability Determination Services were some of her other roles.

I have been talking a lot about my experience with disability and the issues those with disabilities face. I have mostly talked about learning disability and invisible disabilities. This time, I am touching a little on physical disabilities, particularly limb loss or amputation.
I have personally known people who had to have parts of their limbs amputated because of diabetes. I myself am prediabetic. Diabetes is a leading cause of amputation. Around 160,000 amputations are performed each year due diabetes in the my country of the United States. Approximately 185,000 amputations over all are done. Nearly 2 million people in the United States are living with limb loss.
I was recently contacted by a company to share a guide on living with limb loss or amputation. Adjusting to limb loss is not easy. My blog is all about spreading awareness on the experience of living with a disability, so I decided to accept the company’s collaboration offer. Their guide focuses on helping people with amputations adjust to driving with limb loss. Amputation and limb loss does not have to mean the loss of independence.
The company I’m collaborating with is a law firm called RichmondVona that focuses on injury cases. The law firm is located in New York in the United States. The company was founded by lawyers John E. Richmond and Keith R. Vona, who have over 20 years of experience. They have helped their clients win over $200 million. RichondVona prides itself on valuing each individual client like a part of a family.
In today’s life, self-care is always the least priority on our list. We are so engaged with work, family, and social responsibilities that we forget to take care of ourselves. Self-care isn’t selfish, however; it is a need. Caring for oneself means greater productivity, emotional balance, and mental sharpness. So how do you put self-care into your day without making it a big deal? Let’s break it down into little, nourishing moments.
Tips To Follow To Do Self-Care During A Day
1. Begin with a Gentle Morning Routine
How you start your day has a significant impact on your mood, productivity, and stress levels. Instead of jumping out of bed and racing against the clock, give yourself a peaceful and thoughtful beginning. Wake up 15 minutes earlier than you normally would to make time for yourself. Stretch slowly to wake up your muscles, drink a cup of hot green tea lemonade, and resist the urge to mindlessly scroll through your phone. This moment belongs to you—you might journal, meditate, or just sit silently and establish your intentions. A peaceful morning sets the tone for a good day.
2. Feed Your Mind and Body Intentionally
Proper nutrition is essential to self-care. Begin the day with a well-balanced breakfast with fruits, whole grains, and protein. Avoid processed food and excess caffeine that creates energy crashes. Throughout the day, have plenty of water and listen to your body’s hunger cues. Eat slowly and enjoy your food without multitasking. Eating mindfully is not just about feeding your body but also respecting it. Turn every meal into a moment to feed yourself inside and out.
3. Take Micro-Mental Breaks
Your brain, like all your muscles, needs to rest to stay focused and productive. Non-stop work leads to mental exhaustion and burnout. Take mini-breaks every 1-2 hours. Go for a walk outside, close your eyes and breathe in deeply, or stretch yourself out. Even a brief 5-minute walk will wake up your brain. Such micro-breaks improve focus, imagination, and mood, thus boosting your productivity.
4. Boundaries While Working
Boundaries are an essential but often neglected act of self-preservation. Without boundaries, work encroaches on the rest of life and introduces chronic stress. Set defined work time and respect it. Practice saying no when your plate is full and refrain from checking work emailsoutside the designated time. Use tools like “Do Not Disturb” to minimize distractions while performing deep work. Setting those limits is the way your work won’t overwhelm your personal space and mental peace.
5. Remain Connected to Positivity
Humans are social beings, and emotional health is partially about meaningful connections. Call or text a friend or family member during the day with a brief message or call. Cultivate relationships with others who encourage you. Mind your digital diet—unfollow individuals that make you feel smaller and follow those that inspire you. Choose conversations that bring joy and avoid negativity, gossip, or comparison traps. When you establish good relationships, you establish a support system that nourishes your soul.
6. Establish a Bedtime Routine
Night routines help you to create a transition from the nuttiness of the day to a good night’s rest. Choose calming activities like reading, a relaxing bath, or listening to calming music. Avoid screens at least 30 minutes prior to going to bed in order to reduce exposure to blue light, which interferes with sleep. Practice gratitude by reflecting on the good things about your day. These actions inform your body and mind that it’s time to relax and restore. A peaceful bedtime routine improves quality sleep and leaves you refreshed when you wake up.
7. Get Quality Sleep
Sleep is underestimated in its power to influence our health. Not just how much, but how. Create a soothing sleeping space—a low light, cozy bed, and low room temperature. Employ natural therapies like lavender oil or a cup of chamomile tea. Sleep and wake up at the same hour every single day to preserve your circadian rhythm. Sleeping well improves memory, mood, immunity, and even judgment. You work when you sleep.
My Personal Diary Of Daily Routine.
Morning Routine – How I Kick Start My Day?
After waking up at around 7’O clock the first thing that I prefer to do is 10 minutes of simple exercise or stretching that helps me to feel energetic and fuel up my body, after that drinking upto a litre of water to hydrate my body, having some healthy breakfast around 8’O clock and then thinking about a list of things that I have to do during the day.
Mid-day Routine – while in office!
Reaching office and after setting down the things, as I get time during some working hours, I would like to eat some almonds and cashew nuts that I always carry with in my bag as it is known for high Vitamin – E, High fibre, Bone strength, etc. during the lunch time, a balanced meal is the thing that I prefer with some smoothies for weight loss and healthy living.
Evening Routine – taking a minimal break and slowing down.After working for whole day, I used to take a mild break around 5’O clock, to reset mental health as it is very important to release all stress and anxiety of work that it stored during the day. After that having a cup of green tea to detox or evening walk for 5 to 10 minutes is generally what I do to relax my mind.
Night routine – hitting gym and simple practices!
Hitting gym around 7’O clock is the most important thing of my daily routine, which I used to do daily after getting back to home from office. Taking some pre-workout, doing some hard-work and exercises are the things I used to follow. And afterwards having a simple and less cholesterol food at night which includes sprouts, cereals and pulses. Meditating for 5 to 10 minutes before sleep and then having a good night sleep!
Mental & Emotional Self-Care Tips
In addition to physical behaviour, your mental chatter is an important aspect of self-care. Treat yourself with compassion. Do not be overly critical of yourself, and be kind to yourself. Keep your goals realistic and be in touch with your achievements, however insignificant. Permit yourself to experience feelings without criticism—it’s acceptable to have bad days. If necessary, consult a professional. Therapy is a powerful act of self-care and an indication of strength rather than weakness.
Why Self-Care Isn’t Selfish
Others experience guilt if they place themselves first. Yet the truth is that self-care grants you the ability to bring your entire self to your relationships, career, and personal goals. If your cup is full, you can fill up others with gladness and vitality without resentment or exhaustion. Self-care daily builds resilience, improves anxiety management, and promotes more life satisfaction. Self-care reminds you that you deserve your own love, energy, and time.
FAQs on Daily Self-Care Habits
1. Must I take hours of my time to practice self-care?
Yes, self-care does not require taking hours of your time. Even 5-10 minute instances of mindfulness, hydration, stretching, or deep breathing throughout your day can be incredibly powerful. Length is not as important as consistency.
2. Is self-care only physical?
No, self-care is physical, emotional, mental, and even spiritual well-being. It includes behaviors like sleeping well, boundary-setting, being grateful, going to therapy, and healthy relationships.
3. What if I feel guilty taking time for myself
Guilt is normal but unwarranted. Self-grooming can be seen as upkeep. You can’t give what you don’t have. Grooming yourself allows you to give your best to other humans without being burned out.
4. How do I start a self-care routine if I’ve never done this before?
Start small. Take one or two self-care routines to begin with, such as increasing water intake or going to bed 30 minutes early. Gradually build upon it as the routines become a part of normal life.
5. Does technology facilitate or detract from self-care?
Both. Meditation, journaling, and tracking habits can be aided by apps. But excessive screen time or disturbing material on the net can drain your energy. Watch out for technology.
6. What are some free self-care things I can do every day?
Take a walk in nature
Do some deep breathing exercises
Create a gratitude list
Meditate or stretch
Leave your screens behind
Drink herbal tea slowly
7. How do I ensure consistency in my self-care practices?Set reminders, link self-care activities to existing habits (e.g., journaling after brushing teeth), or simply use a plain log. Most of all, be kind to yourself if you forget one day—just begin again.
8. Is it okay if my self-care is different from others’?
Absolutely. Self-care is very individualized. What relaxes or energizes one person might not have the same effect on another. Choose activities that actually feel caring to you.
9. What if I am not motivated about taking care of myself?
Start with small, pleasant things. Action tends to come before motivation. Also, recall the reasons why self-care matters—it’s an investment in your health, peace, and happiness.
10. Can therapy be included in daily self-care?
Yes. Therapy is a safe space to think, heal, and become. Even if it’s not daily, regular sessions can really assist with emotional health and are an incredibly empowering means of caring for oneself.
Final Thoughts
Self-care doesn’t require grand gestures or lots of time. It’s in the small, intentional choices you make each day to respect your body, mind, and spirit. By applying these self-care moments throughout your daily routine, you not only improve your well-being but also cultivate a life rooted in balance, purpose, and joy. Start today, start small, and stay consistent. Your future self will thank you.

Last time, Arlene and I talked about self love. You can view our first collaboration post here. This time around, the focus is on trying to move on mistakes or traumas. We decided to write letters to ourselves, and post the letters on each other’s blogs. Below, you will find Arlene’s letter to herself:
Dear Angie,
Your life has been about overcoming challenges, breaking through barriers, and moving
forward. Ironically, I know you’ve never asked for much, yet the love and support you’ve longed for seem out of reach. I want you
to realize how proud I am of your resilience and how far you’ve come. I can’t think of anyone else who has faced the trials you have and decided to rise above them. You’ve had the perfect excuse to give up if you wanted to.
I understand how exhausting and draining it can be a
t times. Seeing how much of a journey still lies ahead can be disheartening. It’s like swirling the entire ocean, only to find that the shore is still
far away.
Now that you have the incredible tools and knowledge you wish you had from the beginning, it brings up an inevitable question: If you know what you have left to do, why don’t you do it?
We both know you know better, so What’s holding you back from moving on, dear?
I know you’ve been trying to take care of your mom for as long as you can remember.
Despite your efforts to detach, surrender, accept, honor, and support her, it seems there’s still a small yet big step to take.
Acceptance and
resistance both have many layers. You might think you’ve moved past something until it catches you off guard.
Spending each day by your mother’s side causes you sorrow and drains your energy. It’s challenging to accept that there’s nothing more you can do for her
, and both of you need to move on. With numerous changes and challenges, you need to continue with your life, while she needs to follow the natural course of life as well. The days seem long and unbearable for her.
Facing the inevitable, especially knowing she wants to move out of your home
, feels like you’re pulling a trigger in a way. It’s like a one-way ticket.
The thought of a care facility is burdensome and unpleasant to you. Ironically, your mother would be better cared for there than at home, and it would also give you a break from the
the constant stress of dealing with nurses, medicines, and everything else.
Maybe deep down, you know it’s not just
about her; it’s about your whole life
changing. The uncertainty of what’s to come is
both exhilarating and terrifying. Perhaps you’re using the situation with your mom as a shield, almost a symbol.
She is the last link you have with your known life of origin. Everything else seems to be spiraling. It’s a positive spiral, yes, but a dizzying one. Your whole life is new.
I understand you may feel alone in the world
.I encourage you to continue your spiritual journey, filling the void, and moving on with love and purpose.
Keep moving forward, Angie.

Without further ado my half of the post is below:
I’ve been bullied since I was small. I can’t help but feel there are too many things wrong with me, and people notice them right away. I don’t like my back, because I have scoliosis. My posture is horrible. I also don’t like that I’ve gained a lot of weight recently. Maybe I need to really need to lower the amount of food I’m eating. I should skip breakfast or lunch from now on. I also don’t like my feet. I’m never wearing sandals! Sometimes I wish I were someone else. I don’t know what to do.

Hello everyone! As you may already know, a New Zealand based book publishing company called Odyssey Books reached out to me recently to help them celebrate their 10 year anniversary! It was such an honor! Learn more about Odyssey Books here. The publishing book company celebrated by putting a collection of books on sale for the month of July (welcome to the first day of August)! If you check their website now you might even be able to catch the end of the sale! In return for writing a blog post for the company about their anniversary sale, I was given one of their new releases of my choosing free of charge! In this post, I will be writing a review of the book I was given. Now the company did not ask for this review, and I am probably a little late with it, but I decided I wanted to do a review anyway. I am not a book blogger, so this post is a little different from my usual posts, but I thought it might be fun to share my thoughts on the book Odyssey Books gave me. This is also my way of thanking the company for collaborating with me. Without any further ado, let’s dive in to the book review!
The book I was given from Odyssey Books publishing company was The Dark Poet by Kathryn Gossow. Here is the description of the book from Odyssey Books’ website:
“Some people are so broken they can only cut us. With poetic dexterity, Aurealis Award finalist Kathryn Gossow interweaves eight short stories of longing and alienation featuring outcasts and the misunderstood. From a homeless storyteller to a gardening soothsayer, to a copy editor who owns a pair of stubborn chickens, readers will come face to face with the humanity of people easily judged by a rigid society. At the heart of these stories is the Dark Poet, a charismatic and broken man leaving a trail of debris as he drifts in and out of people’s lives.”
What I found most interesting about The Dark Poet is its focus on interconnectivity. As stated in the description, The Dark Poet is a collection of interconnected short stories, and in each story there is a common denominator: a character known as the “Dark Poet”. Each story is like a piece of a puzzle, creating a full picture of the “Dark Poet”. In fact, the title of one of the short stories in the book is “The Puzzle Ring”. The author did such a wonderful job weaving all of these independent stories together, creating a beautiful cohesive flow.
Each story in The Dark Poet is also like a piece of a chain. Whatever happens to one part of a chain affects the rest of the chain, and this is the way the events of each of the short stories are connected. There is an age old question that asks “If a tree fell in a forest and no one was there to hear it, does it make a sound?”, and this book seems to answer it. Some of the actions of the characters, particularly the “Dark Poet”, cause a chain of events to occur. All of the characters are affected, some more than others.
The Dark Poet reminded me that we all make an impact on someone else. Just like in the book, anything we do causes a chain of events to happen. Whether we choose to spread positivity or negativity is entirely up to us. All in all, I found The Dark Poet an intriguing book, and would definitely recommend it.
Hello everyone! I am not a book blogger, however, I do enjoy reading books. Reading is one of my favorite ways to get some relaxation, as well as some excitement! Ever since I was a small child, I have been an avid reader. I enjoyed getting lost in the pages of a great book for hours on end, and still do. For this reason, I am honored to be collaborating with Odyssey Books to help them celebrate their Anniversary. Odyssey Books is a New Zealand based book publishing company that was created in 2009 by founder Michelle Lovi. This month, Odyssey Books turns 10! As a blogger, I can understand a little bit of the excitement around the success of a growing business, because running a blog is like running a business! You can read more about Odyssey Books publishing company here.
To celebrate this occasion, Odyssey Books has a collection of books that are on sale right now! For the month of July, these books will only cost $0.99! These books can be bought electronically through Apple iBooks, the Amazon Kindle reader, Barnes and Noble Nook, and Google Books, among other electronic book stores. Odyssey generally publishes fiction books, and they seem quite interesting. Here is a description from the company’s website on one their books entitled A Perfect Square by author Isobel Blackthorn:
Odyssey Books
“Across two continents, two sets of mothers and daughters are bound by a dark mystery.
On a winter’s day in the Dandenongs, Victoria, pianist Ginny returns home to stay with her eccentric mother and artist, Harriet. Consumed by disturbing dreams, speculations and remembering, she tries to prise from her mother the truth concerning her father’s disappearance and why, when she was seven, Harriet abducted her. In an effort to distract her daughter’s interrogations, Harriet proposes they collaborate on an exhibition of paintings and songs.
Meanwhile, on the edge of Dartmoor, Judith paints landscapes of the Australian Outback to soothe her troubled mind. Her wayward daughter, Madeleine, has returned home and she’s filled the house with darkness. Her father doesn’t want to know her. Judith wishes he did. When at last she forces the two to meet she breathes a sigh of relief.
Back in Australia, Ginny is poised to fly to England in search of the truth when she receives some earth-shattering news.
A novel brimming with mystery, intrigue, creativity, art and the occult.”

I am so excited to be collaborating with Nadine from Home of Understanding! We both started blogging just this year, and our blogs cover very similar topics. She’s incredibly creative and full of ideas! Her blog is amazing and you should definitely read her other posts! Give her a visit here. Nadine offered the idea of collaborating after we visited each other’s blogs, and I jumped on the opportunity! She told me she’s been thinking of writing about body image issues for a while, and mentioned the idea of writing about what often goes through a person’s mind as he or she looks at him/herself through a mirror. We both agreed it’s an amazing idea, and started working on the project right away! For as long as I can remember, I have struggled with developing a positive self image. There have been many times when I’ve looked in the mirror and saw so many things I would like to change. For this collaboration, we are exploring the voice of self loathing, or “the devil”, that we often hear in our heads when judging ourselves, and the “angel”, whose uplifting voice is often ignored. Our goal through this project is to help our readers realize that you are perfect the way you are. Don’t listen to your inner ”devil” thoughts. Focus on the voice of the “angel”, and embrace your unique beauty.
The voice of the “Devil”:
There are so many flaws to point out. When are you going to lose all that weight? Maybe you can skip a meal today. Look at all those blemishes on your face. You shouldn’t go outside without makeup. Your chest and rear end are so small. Maybe you should consider implants. Your nose is a funny shape. You should consider getting that fixed too. You also need to work on getting in control of the pimples on your thighs and the hair on your arms. Plus, it would be nice if you could do something about that curved back of yours. That’s not attractive. Beauty is important to a woman, and can get her far. Don’t hesitate to do what’s needed for you to be considered beautiful.
Can you relate to those words? Do you find yourself saying similar comments about your appearance whenever you look into the mirror? Visit Nadine’s Post, Body Image – A Dialogue to read what the “angel” has to say.

When Avengers: End Game was released a relative of mine went to a theater right away to watch it. After seeing it, he couldn’t help bragging about seeing the movie before me. Avengers: End Game marks the end of a phase for the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe). Many of the super heroes we’ve enjoyed watching will not be returning to the big screen, or at least not anytime soon. Watching the these characters be brought to life by talented actors and actresses has been amazing, however, there is one person in my life who is my superhero.
If you’ve read some of my previous posts, you might have noticed that I mention my father quite often. We have a very close relationship. Yes, I am very much I daddy’s girl. My father was still quite young when he had me, and was still trying build himself up. However, my father still managed to give me one of the most important things a parent can ever give his or her child: time. Many nights my Dad stayed up late trying to calm me after a nightmare despite how busy he was. I have many wonderful memories of my Dad and I enjoying each other’s company while watching a movie, or spending time at a park. Any events I can’t remember were captured in pictures. My father never failed to be around and have a camera ready during special or spontaneous moments. Anytime I felt was in any type of trouble (feeling sick while at school or being bullied) I was able to reach him anytime, and just like a superhero he was by my side in a flash. My father never failed to make me feel safe and loved. I wanted to be just like him when I reached adulthood myself, and be the type of parent to any future children I might have that he was to me. I don’t know how my father managed, and that’s why he was, and still is, my superhero. Here’s what others have to say about their fathers/superheroes:
Dayma Garcia – Motivational, Lifestyle, and Mental Health Blogger at Women Undefined
“My dad has been more there for me when it has really counted, whenever I have been in any rut he’s the one that has gotten me out, I don’t have many memories of my childhood with him but when it mattered, he was there, I love him & wouldn’t change anything”
“When I was 15 we escaped the Gulf War. My Dad brought 30 people out of Kuwait by his courage and his smarts. Every other man there was scared and lost and no idea what to do and looked to my Dad for guidance. I don’t think we would have made it out without him and God’s help.”
Gina – Lifestyle and Travel Blogger at CultureBean
“He knows how to make me laugh. That’s the remedy to so many things. We have the same sense of humor and can talk for days. Then there’s general life hacks like fixing my flat and (the biggie) my car e.t.c.” 😂
“Oh I wish my dad and my grand daddy where still alive. I was surely a daddy baby!” 🥰🥰🥰
Lisa Mitchell – Lifestyle and Book Review Blogger at Fluxing Well
“My dad is a superhero because, despite the pain he is in from multiple joint replacements, he’s always positive and encouraging to others.”🌻
Stephanie – Lifestyle and Mental Health Blogger at A Red Hair Girl
“My dad always seems to be able to fix everything. Mr. Fixit, we call/called him. He also has a great sense of humor and it’s fun to spend time with him!”
Millie – Lifestyle and Book Review Blogger at MSB Life
“My Dad is a superhero to me because prompted me to think differently about things but also the stories he would make up for us and the jokes – those are things you never forget” 🙂
Melissa Temple – Travel and Disability Blogger at Disabled Disney
“My dad wasn’t my hero per se! But I have pretty severe depression and anxiety and he was the only person who could calm me down. He passed away in 2007. I miss him so much!”
“I never really knew my Dad growing up. In fact Fathers Day is tough one for me. My first son died and his funeral was the day after Father’s Day. My husband carried our son’s coffin. My husband is superman. He is the strongest man I know carrying his sons coffin” x
Eunice Tossy – Lifestyle and Christian Blogger at A Bible Girl
“He is the reason and motivation behind everything I do.. He has given me everything I could ever wish for and the love, care and trust is incomparable”
Liz – Lifestyle Blogger and Influencer at Mummy Overload
“My step was my super hero…. He was always there when I needed him and called me his little Chelsea girl. We did everything together. Holidays where the best with him and he was so funny. Used to do all these little silly things. He was also the best grandad ever. He passed away 6 years ago but will always be my superhero”
“Although I don’t much about him because he passed on when I was really young. The idea of him is home, it gives me comfort and security. He is still my super hero because I know no matter how I turned out he would have been proud of me.”
“You don’t need to lose any weight, you look lovely…you’ll feel better about it tomorrow, and I don’t know why I bother, so come and give your old dad a kiss.”
“My dad worked really hard to provide for my twin sister and I as a single parent. He tried to make every event but sometimes work made him miss it. When I think back though he did the best he could to provide everything and more for us. He is now doing the same for his grandchildren.”
Thankyou for all of your touching contributions about your fathers! I and my contributors hope everyone reading this post enjoys father’s day! If you are a father, whether you’re a biological father, step father, adoptive father, god father, foster father, or a father figure, Happy Father’s Day from all of us!
