Self-care

As busy professionals, we often give so much of ourselves for our children and many, many others. Our own personal needs get put aside to provide everything for others. This often leaves us unfulfilled and empty which can show up as anger, frustration and overwhelm. To top it off, we can sometimes beat ourselves up for not living up to unrealistic expectations of doing it all perfectly.

But the truth is that we all need to practice self-compassion and integrate self-care into our lives to be able to show up energized, purposeful and fulfilled. You must prioritize yourself to keep a float and to be able to care for yourself and others. The time is now to check in with yourself, listen to your heart, find your ways to reset through passions, hobbies, meditation, etc.  In this manner, you can show up as the best version of yourself for your friends and loved ones.
