Self Care

Rest when your tired. Take a drink of water when your thirsty. Call a friend when your lonely. Ask God to help when you feel overwhelmed. Many of us have learned how to deprive and neglect ourselves. Many of us have learned to push ourselves hard, when the problem is that we are already pushed too hard. Many of us are afraid the work won’t get done if we rest when we’re tired. The work will get done; it will be done better than work that emerges from tiredness of soul and spirit. Nurtured, nourished people, who love themselves and care for themselves, are the delight of the Universe. They are well timed, efficient and Divinely led. — From The Language of Letting Go by Melody Beattie

Today, I will practice loving self-care.
