Self Care

December 7: Self Care

By Melody

 

 

I don’t precisely know what you need to do to take care of
yourself, but I know you can figure it out. Beyond Codependency

 

Rest when you’re tired.

 

Take a drink of cold water when you’re thirsty.

 

Call a friend when you’re lonely.

 

Ask God to help when you feel overwhelmed.

 

Many of us have learned how to deprive and neglect our selves.

 

Many of us have learned to push ourselves hard, when the problem is that we’re 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.

 

Today, I will practice loving self-care.
