When balancing everything in life, things can become hectic. People forget about things that matter to themselves and push it off to doing it later. Self-care is the biggest item that I tend to say “oh, I can do it later.” (And then I never do.)
I tend to say that I don’t have time or that there’s important tasks to come first. And I think this is due to my personality of feeling like I always have something do. Even though I’m tired, I need to do this project. Even though I’m running on four hours of sleep, I need to write this article.
I never slow down.
But there was one weekend where I wasn’t working. Or at least I didn’t have to go into work. So I took advantage of my weekend of dog sitting and used it to finally relax, or at least as much as I could.
I got to cuddle up with the dog, spending time with my boyfriend, swing in a hammock while wearing unicorn pjs, and being super relaxed with a bath bomb in a jacuzzi. It was absolutely amazing.
It lasted for one day that weekend because the rest of it I was doing homework. But that’s just how it goes I guess.
I don’t really know my reason for this topic as a blog post, but I guess just to spread awareness of how important self-care is. Even if you just take five minutes out of your day to just be, please do it.
You’re worth it.
