Stop saying tomorrow. Stop saying next round. Stop saying it's not the right time. Stop putting everyone else's needs before taking care of your own health.
How are you supposed to pour from an empty cup?
YOU'RE WORTH SO MUCH MORE!!!!!
Here are some ways to practice self-care - even when life feels ridiculously hard!
1. Take a long hot shower, followed directly by hopping into clean pjs or comfy clothes and hitting the couch.
2. Write a gratitude list.

4. Hit the open road and go for a drive with the music up loud.
5. Enjoy a nice long bath with Epsom salts.
6. Play with your pet.

9. Workout and enjoy the endorphins afterward.
10. Relax and color with an adult coloring book.
