Self Care

Wow! Today I must need to talk about self care....
One of my daily devotions reminded me that sometimes we do and do and do for others and forget to do for ourselves...
This is hard to balance at this time---On one hand we are taught to give of ourselves to others. This is the Christian thing to do. Then on the other hand, if we give and give and give we may not take the time to nurture our relationship with the One who fills us... Jesus Christ himself in the Holy Spirit.

Another article I read today was talking about people who drain you...when you are around these people you just feel negative. I have been dealing with this lately... The article again went back to self care. We are responsible for our own emotions. I AM NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO CHANGE ANYONE!

So what to do?

Nurture my spirituality--- Spend time with the ONE who loves me the most. For me I need to get into the Bible--soak up the word of God... Maybe a day retreat for myself would be good.

Exercise--- I am going to walk today and do my beginning Yoga. This helps me feel better so I can keep a positive attitude.

Work on my relationships---Support from people who love me and care about me will help to strengthen me and help me to have confidence in me.

I hope this helps you too.. Have a great day!
