The Weary Travellers Guide to Self Care

By TamSun Kilroy

For travellers who spend great lengths of time on the road and maybe feeling:

 

Disconnected

Lonely

Tired 

Anxious

Unmotivated

Depressed

 

After working 20 years in the realms of community services, 2020 was the year I hit the road to live a full-time nomadic lifestyle. Why? Because I was burnt out and recognised there was more to life than what I was living. I knew I was destined for a life of less stress but that didn't mean I could let go of the self-care practices I had developed over the years. If anything, I had to fine tune them to fit the nomadic, on the road life.  

After speaking with many others living on the road, I recognised they too could benefit from a guide to self-care hence why I've put together this e-book.  

 

This e-book is for you if: 

You're currently living on the road, preparing to live on the road or spend a great deal of time driving and;  

You feel like you've: 

Gone off the beaten track  

The road ahead is way too steep 

Your lost and not sure how to find the way back 

 

This is not a book to glaze over, skim through or be used as kindling for your fire. This e-book covers a series of check-ups (self-enquiries), tune-ups (meditation practises) and a restock of your toolkit (self-care plan). It has been designed to bring your attention to the mental, physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of self. What it will require is a dedicated presence to know your vehicle, become familiar with your own unique navigation system and manoeuvre those sometimes tricky and hazardous roads. By doing so I hope to empower you to be an expert driver on the roads you travel.

Introduction

I wrote The Weary Traveller's Guide to Self-Care for travellers who spend great lengths of time on the road.

After working 20 years in community services, 2020 was the year I hit the road to living a full-time nomadic lifestyle. Why? Because I was burnt out and recognised there was more to life than what I was living. I knew I was destined for a life of less stress, but that didn't mean I could let go of the self-care practices I had developed over the years. If anything, I had to fine-tune them to fit the nomadic, on the road life.

After speaking with many others living on the road, I recognised they too could benefit from a guide to self-care hence why I've put together this e-book.

This e-book is for you if:

You're currently living on the road, preparing to live on the road or spend a great deal of time driving and;

You feel like you've:

Gone off the beaten track

The road ahead is way too steep

You are lost and not sure how to find the way back

This e-book is not a book to glaze over, skim through or be used as kindling for your fire. This e-book covers a series of check-ups (self-enquiries), tune-ups (meditation practises), and a restock of your toolkit (self-care plan). It has been designed to bring your attention to the mental, physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of self. It will require a dedicated presence to know your vehicle, become familiar with your unique navigation system, and manoeuvre those sometimes tricky and hazardous roads. By doing so, I hope to empower you to be an expert driver on the roads you travel.

You should journal the self-enquiry process along with any other reflections you may have in a diary or notebook to formulate your self-care plan. The self-care plan at the end of this e-book should also be added to the diary/notebook. Look for this sign to jot down your responses in your journal.

So, if you're ready for a check-up, tune-up and restock of your toolkit, let's get this show on the road!
