“My goal for today is to make it to tomorrow.

My goal for this week is to make it to next week.

My goal for this month is to make it to the end of the year.

Beyond that, I don't know what the goal is.

Our earlier experiences, particularly our early history, establish our ‘go-to’ stories for understanding our place in the world and often defines our expectations for our behavior and the behavior of those around us. We’ve all lived so much (even if we’ve been stuck in the doldrums) that looking at our history helps us identify our patterns and cycles.

It's one reason the Life Support Paradigm has a timeline built-in

For 10+ years, I’ve gone round and round with the word self-care. The ideas and things we do under the umbrella remain worthwhile, even as the ways we practice self-care exceed the limitations of the original language. For me, shifting my language from self-care to life support expands what self-care looks like and maybe even allows me to stop arguing about self-care being selfish.
