I hope you read this before the holiday craziness.
There’s one thing I keep forgetting and I want you to get it before you get lost in the loop too.
I find myself falling into a pitt of resentment. It happens when I start doing for everyone else, when I cook multiple meals, shop for the perfect outfits for my kids, and stay up late just to make sure I’ve got rainy day activities and holiday ideas planned.
Suddenly, I’m angry. I feel alone. I think no one cares how tired I am, or sick I feel. Somewhere in that loop, I stop and realize it’s me. I need to take care of myself. I need to set time to bathe in Epsom salts, to do yoga and sleep. These are imperative to my emotional health so I need to make it a priority.
This weekend is the beginning of holiday shopping, parties and other must do activities. I hope you’ll read our posts and remember your ability to take care of yourself whether through exercise, being calm or being less kind, is directly related to how well you’re able to take care of everyone else.
