Ever get to the point where youāre just exhausted? Youāre so tired of doing stuff- mentally, emotionally, physically, that you just throw up your hands and say āIām doneā??
Thatās a great sign you (or I... š¤·š¼āāļø) need some good self care. And Iām not talking bubble baths and bingeing (or or or any other wonderful program on tv šš), but I mean things like:
ā¢setting boundaries for your time
ā¢setting boundaries for how people treat you and clearly communicating what is it is not acceptable
ā¢getting a pulse on your emotions and where theyāre rooting from so you can take appropriate action to change what theyāre prompting you to change (itās not always what you think it is though, so this is where having a good sounding board, whether a friend or therapist, can help)
ā¢taking breaks
ā¢doing things you enjoy
ā¢giving your body and itās 37 trillion cells the movement and nourishment it needs
ā¢mitigating
ā¢connecting with people you care about
Practicing great is critical to good and shows that you recognize and take responsibility for your own needs.
But unfortunate our society often demoralizes taking care of your own mental, emotional, and physical needs. We put it on the back burner, convinced that itās just fluff and a waste of time, rather than an . But that just leads to .*
Ever try cutting wood with a dull saw? Ya, I didnāt think so. Same concept here- as says, š³
So get in tune with yourself- see if you could benefit from a recharge and get to it.
*Did you know, by the way, that that thereās an international, peer reviewed journal dedicated entirely to ? If that doesnāt scream thereās an epidemic of self-care deficiency what would?!
