Just a reminder-
Taking care of oneself is productive.
Maybe even more productive than most things that we think are worthy of our time.
Without our humor, our health and flexibility, we can’t do the things we dream of doing or just those things we want to get done.
Patience is involved right? When you know you need to spend precious time unwinding and decompressing, taking the time to do that may mean pushing back a project or other responsibility that is pressing us for attention.
It may also mean some clear boundaries with those we love. Is it time for a date night with your spouse? Is it time for you to have an hour to think and relax so that you can keep going?
Filling our self-care cup pays dividends over and over and over again. I know this. You know this. Hopefully we will get better and better at taking care of ourselves until self-nurture has become a firm pattern in the tapestry of our lives!
I hope your cup is brimming over.
Love,
Jacque
P.S. The other thing we know is that our daughters are watching! Heaven help us!
Or maybe it was this one you wrote with me in mind? Ha ha
Mostly I wrote this one to myself! Hence the p.s…. I’d like to be a better example of this principle!
