“I have to get the kids ready. Be back later to chat.”
I’m going to correct this: I have a habit of putting everyone else first and myself last on the list to power through. Then I “need” the shutdown of drink or mindlessly cruise social media to relax bc I’m just so spent. So I’m going to take 10 min to sit down, drink some coffee and set an intention to take care of me today.
What do I need today?
1. Eat, shower (yes for some reason I think these are negotiable to save time and get others’ needs met)
2. Deep breathing and meditation - I can feel the built up stress in my body. The anxiety is sitting in my chest. Going to do some alternate nostril breathing.
3. Yoga - I’ll do at least 30 min today.
4. Put dinner in the crockpot. Cooking and drinking is a huge trigger for me, so going to avoid it until I’m feeling stronger.
What are you guys doing to take care of yourselves today?
