Self-care

I literally don't have time for self-care. ⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
My response: Wow, and how is that going for you??⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
There's a freaking lot wrong in the world right now and one thing to just add to the list is that y'all seem to think that self-care is something:⁣
that can only be done on Sunday⁣
that can only be done at a spa⁣
that has to cost you a pretty penny⁣
that has to take up hours of your time⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
The truth: I mean ya, spas are nice. A nice little getaway is always welcomed. But the fact of the matter is that self-care isn't some grand thing that you do once a week on Sunday.

Self-care is: ⁣
regular sleep ⁣
spending time with people you love⁣
saying no to what no longer serves you⁣
fueling your body with something other than Doritos (it's hard, I get it)⁣
taking a deep freaking breath⁣
taking the long way home⁣
whatever the heck you want it to be!⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
You get my vibe here?⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
Stop falling into the trap that self-care is something unattainable and using that as an excuse to not take care of yourself and listen to what your body needs. ⁣
