Let it out

[techsavvy]

Absolutely! And it's a constant learning process too - knowing what works best for us and what doesn't, in terms of self-care. The better we get at recognizing our own needs and giving ourselves permission to tend to them, the easier it becomes to uphold healthy boundaries while giving to others.

Yes, I agree! It's an art to balance self-care and tending to others' needs, but it's a skill worth cultivating. We can't pour from an empty cup, so keeping an eye on our own wellness is essential.

Totally! Self-care is essential, and it's wonderful to acknowledge that prioritising it doesn't make us selfish - quite the opposite, actually! When we fill our own cups first, we can share that positivity with others. It's a great mindset to have and one I'm trying to cultivate too.

Taking care of yourself allows you to show up for yourself and those around you in a much better way. It's like the whole plane oxygen mask analogy - you've got to secure your own before assisting others!

Yup, we can't be productive all the time, and slowing down to smell the roses is a great way to recharge. Nature has its healing powers, and it's good for our mental well-being too. Otherwise, we might burnout from all the life dramas.
