Self-Care is a Necessity
Despite or because of the insanity in the world today, you deserve a break.
A lot of people are finding it very hard to perform self-care right now. Why? Because it makes them feel guilty.
Let’s face it — there are some pretty awful things happening right now. Unless you are living in a cave, or very purposefully cloistering yourself off from the world, you are aware of it.
(Let’s face it — if you are reading this, then you are not so disconnected as to be unaware.)
You might be in a position of feeling like, whoa…it’s just so bad. What can I do? How can taking a break/day off/spa day/time for myself NOT be selfish?
To put it simply, if you do not care for yourself, you will have nothing available to give to anyone else, either.
Self-care should not be neglected
What happens when a car runs out of gas? It stops working. Likewise, when you run out of “gas”, you will stop working. How? You’ll get exhausted, sick, super-stressed out, emotionally drained, or some combination of all of these — or worse.
When you do not take a break and give yourself care, you make yourself vulnerable to breaking down in some manner or other.
