A truth that was brought home to me lately is that the tired and rundown version of ourselves
comes across to our peeps an awful lot like our angry and frustrated self. Very similar energy that tells people to watch out, there’s uncertainty ahead!
Not a pretty picture.
We owe it to our families to strive to be the best version of ourselves {rested, balanced, pleasant} as we possibly can as often as we can.
That, most likely, means slowing down to the speed of real life. Accepting things and people as they are, and finding joy in the most basic and simple happenings of our family life.
Be that girl with the smiling eyes. Laugh at your children’s humor. Watch their antics and cartwheels. Cook for them and talk to them over dinner. Love them every way you possibly can.
But first, love yourself and care for yourself.
Everyone will benefit from your self-care efforts.
Love,
Jacque
