Loving Ourselves

Sometimes I believe parents and caregivers of children don’t take enough time to take care of themselves and put themselves first sometimes.  We sometimes hold ourselves to high standards and beat ourselves up for normal things or things that we did not have a lot of control over. 

I worked with a client today on commitment and compassion.  These are really important  things to remember this time of year.  Take time to be compassionate with yourself, you are only human.  Take time to have commitment to you.  Take time to do what YOU want.  Caregivers must take care of themselves or they become depleted. 

What do you need today to take care of you?  What one thing can you commit to this holiday season to do to take care of you?  What gift will you give yourself this year?  Hopefully your gift will include the gift of love to yourself.  You deserve it.
