Do you make time for yourself?

Do you know what it is you need to top up your energy?

Do you give yourself permission to switch off from time to time?

All questions I think we should ask ourselves on occasion.

Understanding what self care means to you makes it easier to implement in your life.

After reading How to be Bored by Eva Hoffman last year I have learnt the importance of switching off from time to time. Or placing limits on my compulsive behaviours (think phones: social media, netflix etc). This book gave me an understanding of the addiction to being busy and how that can be destructive for relationships, with ourselves and others.

I think Eva explains it best in the following quote:

“True engagement – the ability to give ourselves deliberately and unreservedly to a task or a personal interaction – arises from a clear sense of our own desires, goals and intentions. It is when our energies and our perspective are replenished that we can return to our active lives with a renewed sense of pleasure and commitment. In other words, it is only if we periodically disengage, that we can become truly and effectively engaged.”
― Eva Hoffman

At the end of the day, I hope this prompts you to think about self care. How can you refill your cup so you can go on supporting others?

See you on the mat,
