Self-care often takes a backseat in life. Prioritizing others and work leaves little time for self-nurturing. Guilt sometimes creeps in when I try to focus on myself, thinking I should be doing something more productive.

I sleep past midday, seeking solace deep.
In fresh coffee beans and rice to keep.
Cat food stocked for my feline friend.
A constant comfort until the end.

However, I acknowledge that my well-being is crucial for me to thrive in all aspects of my life. Therefore, I affirm to myself that I deserve to prioritize self-care and make it a non-negotiable part of my routine.

To help me remember the importance of taking care of myself, I can:

How about you? What can you do today to help yourself?

1. Set reminders on my phone or calendar to schedule self-care activities.
2. Establish boundaries and learn to say no when I need time for myself.
3. Practice self-reflection to stay in tune with my emotions and needs.
4. Surround myself with supportive friends and family who encourage me to prioritize self-care.
