56. Make self-care NON-NEGOTIABLE
Reminder: Self-care is NOT selfish.
Self care can look like a lot of things. It can look like treating yourself to a massage and/or a pizza and wine night. It can look like exercise and getting enough sleep. But it can also look like saying NO and stoping the comparison game.
Self-care isn't about putting other people's needs on the back burner, it's about make sure that you're not putting YOURSELF on the back burner. Because my friend, NO ONE will care for you better than you care for yourself. NO ONE will advocate for you better than you advocate for yourself. NO ONE will work for your dreams harder than you work for them yourself.
Self-care isn't selfish. It's essential. If you don't put gas in that tank, that car is gonna stall out and die. And then what? Who benefits from that? No one.
This week's episode is a reality check on that mindset of self-care being something we do "if we have time"...MAKE. TIME.
