patiencebertanaWe have two hands… one for helping others, but the other for helping ourselves. Too often we find ourselves ensuring that everyone else around us is taken care of and then find ourselves depleted and exhausted.
As a mom, wife, educator, and friend, I find myself drawn to helping others. I want to make sure my family is well cared for. I want to ensure my home is welcoming and that I am a supportive friend.
However, at the end of the day, I have to make sure that I also take care of myself. This is a constant struggle and something that I have to be intentional about.
For me, taking time to create is a crucial component of my self-care. While I find incredible joy in creating, I have to build routines and habits that allow me the time and space to create. I have to be intentional.
I’d love to chat about how you can be intentional and build habits and routines to take care of yourself!
