3 Benefits of Daily Self-Care
Some things you should think About
Do you feel like this in the morning?
You hit snooze a couple of times before you actually get up to start your day.
OR
You set two alarms, 15 or 30 minutes apart so that the first one slightly wakes you up. Then, when the actual alarm sounds you hit snooze before getting up to start your day.
Then, you race through a shower, grab something for breakfast, and eat on the road because now you are late for work or an important appointment.
By lunchtime, you are starving. You stop at the first fast-food joint to grab a burger and fries, but instead of taking time to enjoy the meal, you eat in your car as you hurry to the next part of your day. Maybe it is picking up your child or grandchild from school. Maybe it is stopping in to care for your aging parent or close friend.
You have given your day your all so that by the time you get home, your cup of compassion and patience is darn near empty or completely dry. There is, however, still dinner to make and other responsibilities to tackle in your day.
Tomorrow, I’ll do something for myself. Tomorrow, I’ll fill my own cup after I get everything done.
