Schedule Time for Yourself

So many times, I hear people talking about always putting everyone else first. Some even wear this trait a badge of pride, but often times this constant focus outwards leads to burnout, irritability, imbalance and resentment. You are busy. You may be juggling any number of things: raising children, working, maintaining friend and family connections, caretaking for parents or grandparents, domestic chore upkeep, paying bills…the list goes on and on. However, it is essential that you schedule time for yourself. Your care. Your upkeep. Your recharge. Prioritize you taking care of you so that you can fully give to others. Remember that you cannot give what you don’t have.
