Itās kind of annoying that the self
care that I want: giving myself grace, taking off from work, and spending time relaxing on the couch, doesnāt make me feel less anxious and overwhelmed? But somehow a 7am shower and list of to-dos does? Absolutely infuriating knowing that all of the face masks, bath bombs, and āhealthyā snacks mean nothing in the face of my brain panic; But tossing my entire bones and skin sack into the shower, even though the process makes me feel like a sad wet cat, does more for my brain chemistry after the fact than any of those things ever could.
Itās very annoying that self care means taking care of your selfās most basic needs, not engaging in a little treat.

š«Recently I have been hyper focused on managing my life, pushing to follow what I love, and try to provide for myself more. But with that I have also had strange mood spikes and been stressing far more. My brain is constantly go, go, going. So somedays my body just canāt go. I get moody and I feel exhausted. And itās in these moments I have to treat my body as if I were caring for a toddler. I nap, I eat, I play, I try to hit all the basics. These breaks make me feel anxious, like I have no time. But, learning to know when my body and mind need a break makes me feel in tune with myself, pushing me to focus on my heath over my productivity.

š§æYou donāt need to suffer to prove that youāre a good person. You donāt have to stay with the job that makes you question yourself and you donāt have to keep dating that person youāre not quite clicking with. If something feels off then it probably is. I ām not advocating for immediately abandoning your responsibilities and throwing caution to the wind; but in our hearts we know when something is working and when it isnāt.
That thing called intuition is your soul, and you can trust it.
