SELF-CARE is simple. It’s just a battery recharge.

We go out into the world each day and get beat up and scuffed up.

-      The line at Walmart where there are 2 registers open.

-      The new baby that kept you up all night.

-      The kid running around the house screaming Christmas carols while you’re on the phone.

Usually, we tend to life’s problems well when they need our attention.

-      When the “Low Fuel Warning” light comes on, we pull in and fill up the gas tank.

-      When our phone batteries get to 20% and warn us, then get to 10% and turn red and start yelling at us, we plug our phone in.

However, when it comes to us, our Bodies, Minds, and Spirits, we don’t pay as much attention to the warning lights and alarms.

-      When my eyes get heavy, I don’t go get some sleep, I drink another cup of coffee to keep going.

-      When my irritability is pinging off the charts and small things cause me to explode, I work more hours to get more done and catch up.

-      When my anxiety is causing me to lay awake in bed all night or causing my head to spin uncontrollably, I go grab a drink and scroll on social media some more to distract myself.

SELF-CARE is simply a battery recharge.

This time of year is stressful and draining. This week, commit to pay attention to the warning lights and alarms that you’re Body, Mind, and Spirit are sending you.
