IT’S TIME TO PUT YOURSELF FIRST

Your life is constantly busy. There are always things that need to be done. Boxes that need to be checked. Messes to clean up. People to take care of. You give of yourself to everyone around you, making time for their needs.

But what about YOUR needs? Who’s taking care of YOU?

Often times we feel selfish for putting ourselves first. We think it makes us a bad mom if we have someone watch our kids while we go for a run. We fear rejection if we skip lunch with friends to go to the gym.

I get it. I have wrestled with the guilt of trying to make time for myself without letting others down. But sister, you can’t pour out what you don’t have within you. I know that I am a better wife, mama and friend when I fill myself up before I pour myself out.
