It's been a long crazy week...
Not crazy because it's been busy but because I've had to take time for myself and that's something I always struggle with. Taking care of me should be a priority, right? Taking days off to heal should be ok?
I can no longer have a "push through it" attitude. I would love to be able to keep that mindset, unfortunately autoimmune issues are no joke.
Learning to give myself time, with grace, is hard. I don't want to let people down. I don't want to disappoint people.
Lessons I constantly preach; "You can't pour from and empty cup", "Self-Care is a priority not a luxury", "You deserve to feel good in your own body".. and so many more....
So today, I rest... unfortunately not without guilt or judgment of myself, not without the constant reel playing in my head about what I should have done, could have done.... but I will rest.
And I will try to give myself the same grace that I extend to everyone else.
