self Care

 Self-care is as important to your dreams as getting on the work treadmill of making sales calls, being consistent on social media…or mastering your craft. ⠀

⠀

Because what you are doing is not a sprint. ⠀

It’s a marathon. ⠀

⠀

You are not building something for the short-term. You are building for the long haul. You want the work you’re doing now to serve people in the next 20 years.⠀

⠀

So, self-care is not optional, and it is not selfish. ⠀

Self-care is your RESPONSIBILITY to your future. ⠀

⠀

If you’re disciplined enough to learn and implement new techniques, please make sure that you’re also disciplined at self-care.⠀

⠀

Self-care is the practice of being–being present to your family…being present to your friends…taking time out for casual conversations…allowing yourself to do things that just allow your brain to rest or give your body a thank you. ⠀

⠀

I love to lay under my tree and just stretch slowly. I love to just turn my phone on and listen to some easy music and just stretch and thank my body for carrying me through the years.⠀

⠀

Fill your cup up first and serve others from your overflow. You have a long line of things to do and people to serve. You’re going to always have a long line to serve–gladiators and change agents always do. ⠀

⠀

Make sure you stay at the front of your own line so you’re able to.⠀
