Sis, it’s impossible to pour from an empty cup. Let’s normalize self-love by unplugging when it’s necessary.
Every now and then, I need a few days to do absolutely nothing! If you’re like me, you’re probably juggling a ton of hats; wife, mom, full-time employee, serial business owner, CEO of a whole household, the list goes on. It’s important to understand that selfcare is not selfish. It’s an ongoing practice needed to build resilience and prevent burnout. This not only helps you, but it also helps those who you love and care for so that you are operating at your full capacity.
Here are some ways to practice selfcare. Some of these ideas might seem small, but trust me, even the small things can make a huge difference if you normalize them. Pencil in some self-love on your calendar. Remember that selfcare is not just physical, it is also important to care for your mental well-being.
