It took me a long time to realize I need to tend to myself first....I know, I know, it goes against everything we've been taught about service to others, but if I don't have ME TIME, then I really don't have time for you...not REALLY.
It's like driving my car around town on empty, running errands but saying "I don't have time to stop and fuel up." Pretty crazy, huh? So in between taking the kids to soccer and gymnastics, stocking the fridge, paying the bills, PLEASE take time for yourself. If you do this regularly, then YAY, if not, it will feel strange at first, but I promise you'll get used to it and wonder how you ever functioned before!
Bottom line, if I don't have $5, then I can't loan YOU $5....I gotta replenish my spirit before I can help you from a place of love, not obligation. Enjoy the linked article, and have a joyous, relaxed holiday next week!
