Learning To Embraced Self-Care

I didn’t deserve to pamper myself. That thought was brought up as I was looking at my freshly polished nails.

I thought, what was the point of giving my body and mind some self-care? 1 because I didn’t think I was worth it, 2 because I felt guilty about taking money or time for myself from my family. That money could be used for groceries or bills, or that time could be used to play with the kids. 

That thinking was totally wrong. I mean how on earth could I show my kids how to love themselves if I couldn’t even show it to myself. Now I’m not saying to go out and spend a fortune or all your time on yourself. But dude, spending 30 minutes to an hour, 3-4 days a week or more, on yourself is something that is so important. This could be reading a good book, getting your nails done, playing your fave game, going for a run. Anything that makes you happy inside. This is one of the reasons why I always get my workouts in! I’m so worth it!

Sonic is not one to let himself be neglected! He’s one to be the first to take care of himself. He's always one to share just how awesome and how much he deserves everything he gets!

Have you purposely neglected self-care from yourself?
