If you take the time to care for yourself, is it seen as being selfish? This is a very hard concept for most women as we are taught to care for others first. We tend to put ourselves on the back shelf in hopes that we will work to do something special one day, but that day just runs into the next and the next.
When we don’t care for ourselves:
we start to become resentful
worn down
burnt out
and tired.
At this point, we are no good to anyone including ourselves because we have nothing left to give. Our buckets have been running on empty for quite some time. Sound familiar? We all do it.
But think of how much more you could help those you love and care for if you spent time filling your bucket. Doesn’t have to be much, just time well spent with you.
Talk a walk and take time to smell the roses along the way.
Make an appointment today to get a massage for you.
Go have lunch at your favorite restaurant with your favorite friends.
Take time to sit outside and write in your journal.
Take a vacation day and binge-watch your favorite show.
Get some energy medicine to replenish your energy and clear out the toxic energy you have accumulated.
Remember, it’s time to fill your own bucket instead just those for your family and friends. Don’t feel like you have time? Make time on your calendar for “Me Time” and stick to it. Don’t override it, don’t put it off because the kids want to go to the movies that day, don’t cross it off because it feels silly to do. Self-care is not selfish; it’s vital for health and well-being. It’s a way to get your energy back and appreciate you.
Here’s to you.

You can also gain knowledge about how energy medicine and intuitive messages can help us recognize and adjust to changes that are affecting us, as well as our animals. Even when we may not recognize it— there are messages your dogs, cats, horses and other pets wish they could tell you directly—as they seek to give you loving help. Chiron Energy Medicine offers several options.
