🖤 ~When we hear the words self-care, so often we think we cannot take time for ourselves. Many times we feel guilty if we choose to take time for our self-care. But, God reminds us that our body is the temple and we must take care of it.
🖤 ~I have always felt guilty taking any time for myself. I am a giver and an empath , I always put everyone else ahead of myself. With that said, at the same time, it is beyond draining and exhausting. Many times I will even note it that I must take time for myslef and yet I never do.
🖤 ~Unfortunately, when we don’t give our mind, body and soul the rest we need, we cannot be our best for others. Stress affects every part of our life. We cannot just not have stress. We all endure difficult situations, but it is how we learn to handle it that matters.
🖤 ~This is where self-care is crucial to the renewal of our mind, body and soul. Taking twenty minutes a day for yourself is not wrong! Whether you listen to music, sit in your car, sit in your prayer closet, go for a walk, whatever it might be, just do that! Be consistent with it! Be firm with your intentions for yourself!
🖤 ~I listen to sweet people everyday sharing with me about how they are so exhausted but just cannot take time for themselves. What I am penning here for y’all is exactly what I share with them. That time set aside for yourself every single day is a must!
🖤 ~Mental Health is so very important. It should never be overlooked or shadowed as a negative, have a negative stigma, nor should it be something that everyone judges. We have all endured emotional trauma one way or another. Self-Care also includes helping our mental health. People do not always understand how crucial our mental health is to our everyday life. We just push stress aside thinking it will calm down. But, that just doesn’t usually happen without us taking time to detox our mind, body and soul.
🖤 ~If you are like me, you always see something you should be doing, someone you should be taking care of, something or someone, somewhere that needs help, so, there we go again…pushing ourselves over our own limits! 😩
🖤 ~It is so important to know that it is okay to take time for yourself. It is okay to stop and just be. It is okay to just do nothing. I struggle with all of those, but, the more we seek God’s face and His guidance, He will help us begin to look at ourselves in a better way!
🖤 ~I will be penning down more blogs that will help you begin to take time for you!
🖤 ~In the meantime, please take time for yourself because YOU are important! 🖤
🖤 ~much love…
