So, here’s the thing. It really is important for us to carve out some “me time” on a pretty regular basis. Why? Because for the most part…we tend to place ourselves last on our to-do lists. Or worse, we don’t even include ourselves or our own wants and desires on the list at all. We simply focus on everyone we care about, and what their needs are, and we spend lots of time focusing on our jobs, careers, ministries, and other responsibilities. Sometimes we do it because that’s all we’ve ever done, and sometimes we do it because somewhere along the way, we decided that making ourselves a priority on any given day of the week would also mean that we’re being selfish. But what I’m here to tell you is that this philosophy couldn’t’ be further from the truth because, ladies, when we don’t take care of ourselves, we eventually become overwhelmed, exhausted, frustrated, and yes, we even become resentful. In today’s episode, I discuss why you should make self-care and “me time” a top priority in your life.
