Self Care

 

The Battle with Cancer is a long road, and every warrior can use some creature comforts along the way.  Things that will make the fight easier, help ease physical pains and shore up the mental energy and strength that's needed.  Let's not pull punches here, Cancer sucks - and there are times when he will feel like shit, but it doesn't have to be like that all day, every day.  Each month we include several items in the box for self care.  Not every man will like every item every month but we choose such a massive variety of ideas and products that we're sure to offer what he needs, when he needs it, even if he doesn't know it himself yet.

Men and Woman view self care differently, you can't just apply women's self care products and techniques to men, we're different.  We don't think the same, we don't process emotions the same, it's not a cookie cutter solution.  We've been very intentional with our choices and we've slanted everything with a male's perspective.

 

The purpose of our self care products is to help a man maintain some balance between the Battle and the rest of life.  The Battle will consume you if you let it, it will not only rob you of your health and strength, but of your joy as well.  Not every man can spend his battle sitting on the dock in the sun soaking up the strength of nature, but that doesn't mean he can't do things to restore his soul, his perspective and his resilience.  

Comfort, creativity, distraction, enjoyment, taste, sound, laughter - these are the founding ideas behind our line of Self Care choices.  A puzzle, adult coloring books, journaling, a Tom Clancy novel (yeah we pick guy books), comfy socks, a warm tuque, crafts, travel mug, etc.  There's something for everyone and if it gives you a bit of relief from the constant stress and worry then it's doing exactly what it's supposed to do.
