Self-care isn’t just what you do, it’s how you speak to yourself🤎 You may take a bath or read a book, but if your inner voice is saying “you’re lazy” or “you don’t deserve this break,” then those moments might not be truly helping you. True rest starts with how you speak to yourself. I like to imagine how I’d talk to a close friend who needed a break—you’d be understanding, patient, and encouraging! You deserve that exact same kindness. Unlearning feelings of guilt and shame around rest takes time, but it starts with giving yourself grace. It’s not a weakness to need a break—it’s care. You don’t need to “earn”a break. You’ve earned a break just by surviving in this demanding world. The next time you take some space, remind yourself: “I’m doing what I need to feel well,” and feel pride that you’re honoring your needs!🤎
