I think sometimes we get so used to taking care of everything and everyone that we forget we need care too.
There will always be something else that needs to be done. Another message to answer, another problem to solve, or another person who needs us. If we wait until everything is finished before we allow ourselves to rest, we may never actually stop.
It is okay to take a break before you are completely exhausted. It is okay to put yourself first sometimes. It does not mean you care any less about the people who depend on you.
You matter too. Take the time. Breathe. Rest. Do something that makes you feel like yourself again. đź’ś
