It really just dawned on me how many of us may need to adjust our self-care for the seasons. My main form of self-care is being out in nature. Running hiking, camping, rafting, open air art festivals; basically, all my fav self-care activities and hobbies are outdoors, and I HATE the cold. I will probably layer up and still get … Read More

Spooky season as some call it, can be pretty big for some people. I was just wondering if any of you have any plans or have done anything fun to celebrate the season? When I was young, many years ago, I used to love going to my grandparents’ house out in the woods to have bonfire and roast hotdogs. I … Read More

Hi FKB Family, I was wondering if any of you are also not big fans of the colder seasons? I know some love this weather (kudos to them really) but it’s just not for me and it’s more than just a little annoyance. It gets hard to feel motivated to much at all at times, and I know I tend … Read More

What is one coping strategy or mechanism that you have found most useful and productive in the face of intrusive thoughts, or just in your everyday life? Sharing how we best cope individually could spark something in others that are looking for support and feel they have tried everything.  Personally, when all else fails, the one thing that always helps … Read More

I would pick Elvis. I love his velvety voice and I find it comforting and soothing. Elvis reminds me of childhood and my grandpa’s 8-track player.  My second pick would be Justin Furstenfeld from Blue October. I really admire his honesty and openness and how much her really seems to care about his family and fans. His music has really … Read More

I have been looking for something new to watch at night. I need to try to take a break away from some of the dramas I most often watch. I love some of them, but they are not always as relaxing as I probably need at times. Frankie and Grace (or Grace and Frankie… I always mix it up) is … Read More

I had plans to do some self-care this week but outside of my nightly meditation for sleep I fell short. Don’t get me wrong that counts and it’s probably one of the very few ways I can fall asleep but I’m trying to make an effort to do a tad more during the day. Sometimes life just eats up the … Read More

I would remind my past self to take the time to say no. Saying no was the hardest thing for me to do for the longest time. I let others walk all over me just to make them happy, and refused to accept that this part of who I was and my fear of abandonment forced me to only focus … Read More

I would pick flying. I think If I could fly, I would not have a fear of heights anymore. I just cant get over it. I have flown 2 places (so 4 times total with the there and bac) and I still hate it. Plus being able to fly would just be super handy, and I would save a lot … Read More

FKB Staff: I think my favorite is white water rafting. I have only done WW rafting 1 time up in N Cali but I loved it. It was on the Colorado river during a vacation and it was beautiful. I have gone reg rafting and kayaking many times and I’m excited to do that soon too!    What about you … Read More
