Why doesn’t anyone tell you that self care isn’t just about loving yourself? It’s about getting away. Not just physically, but mentally. It’s about forgetting about the day to day grind long enough to be at peace again. What does that look like for you? How often? Is it meditation? Is it bike rides, getting in/on the water, out in nature? Creating something? I used to think self care was binge watching my favorite tv show and getting pedicures, when really, it’s all about taking the intense emotions that try to bottle up inside and infusing them into something that makes us better, stronger, more joyful. The law of energy states that energy is neither created or destroyed. Do you have anxious energy? Parent rage? Take everything you have inside and put it into something beautiful. Because if you don’t, it will find an outlet and it will probably be the most inopportune time and on the ones who deserve it the least.
