51: You Can't Give from an Empty Cup - Putting your Self First
Self-care. This term keeps popping up everywhere \u2013 from Buzzfeed articles to the Huffington Post, and especially on social media. But what does self-care really mean? Is it just an excuse to blow off events, people, and responsibilities? No, probably not. Is it something \u2013 women especially \u2013 tend to put off, because it is more altruistic to put herself on the back burner? Always putting everyone\u2019s needs before her own, from the kids, to the finances, to the house or her career. However, at what point does doing it all become actually a detriment to others? Or worse, actually cause harm to herself?
In today\u2019s episode, I share how I was trying to do it all for everyone. Be everywhere for everyone else, to the point where I ran myself ragged. My body literally decided to slow me down and tell me enough was enough. It needed a self-care day, and my body was not taking no for an answer. I share the episode today and my story of learning how to take a step back, in order to take three steps forward in the long run. Are you guilty of going non-stop, to the point where you might not be taking any time for some self=care? It is time to feel unashamed about some true self-care time. Listen in to the episode to find out not only WHY it is important for you, your family, and your endeavors, but how you can manage to take time for yourself, and be unapologetic about it!
