RADICAL SELF CARE:

“At the end each day I feel wrung OUT.”

“It’s a kind of weariness that is new to me.”

Even in so-called normal times, life can feel daunting.

And lately you feel it even more.

Adding to the physical exhaustion is a constant emotional draining.

And then come the “shoulds:”

“I should get up earlier. I should get more sleep.

I should eat more fruit. I should limit my sugar.

I should be working harder. I should make more family time.”

“Shoulds” are just stress disguised as self-help.

Try treating yourself with patience and acceptance.

Let go of expecting yourself to sail along and stop thinking that it’s your fault if you don’t.

Give yourself room in every moment for being present and alive.

Yes, there are children to care for and important things to care about.

You may have work to do, or work to find.

Pause and reconnect to yourself.

Find your way, in your own time.

Find self-empowerment.

When you manage the inside, life outside becomes enjoyable again.
