Plan time for yourself first.
Be selfish so you can be more selfless.
Wait, what? 🤔
I know—it sounds backwards, especially during the holidays when everyone’s needs seem to come before your own.
But here’s the truth: when you take care of yourself first, you expand your capacity to care for everyone else.
The holidays have a way of testing our patience, stretching our time, and stirring up old patterns. But when you pause to rest, reflect, and breathe—you show up calmer, kinder, and more present. 🕯
You’re not snapping at your kids in the chaos, or spiraling into “I have to do it all” mode. Instead, you’re grounded. You’re steady. You’re in control of your energy.
Here’s what most people miss:
Taking care of your mind is just as important as taking care of your body.
Because changing your reactions, your patterns, and your results starts with giving your brain a break.
That’s the real work—the kind that creates peace that lasts long after the holidays are over.
So this week, be a little selfish.
Take time for you. Step outside. Say no. Do something that refuels you.
Because when you recharge, everyone around you wins too. 🦋
