Self Care Tips

 


If you’re someone who naturally takes on the role of caretaker, then you need to read this!:loudspeaker:

Do you find it’s easy to lose track of where your needs end and others’ begin?

To be honest, maybe you don’t even realize you’re giving more than you should until it starts to feel overwhelming or draining.

If you’re tired of that cycle then becoming aware of the signs is the first step to healing!

Here are some signs that you might be over giving, and it's time to start honoring your own needs:

  1. You’re Always Putting Others Before Yourself: You say “yes” even when you're stretched thin. Remember it’s okay to put your own needs first sometimes.

  2. Your Self-Worth is Tied to Helping: If you only feel valued when you’re needed, it can be hard to feel whole when you’re not actively giving. I want you to know that you are enough just as you are.

  3. You Fear Being Unneeded: When you're not in a caretaking role, you might feel anxious or empty. Please know your worth isn't dependent on being constantly "on call."

  4. Setting Boundaries Feels Impossible: Saying “no” feels hard, and you worry about disappointing others. Boundaries are essential for your well-being, and it’s okay to enforce them.

  5. You Feel Responsible for Others' Emotions: It’s natural to care, but you shouldn’t carry the weight of others’ feelings. You can’t fix everything, and it’s not your responsibility to keep everyone happy.

If you’re noticing these patterns, it’s important to take a step back and check in with yourself.

You deserve to care for yourself with the same love and energy you give others. 🌿 Taking care of you is not selfish. It’s necessary. 💖

New Parents Needing Support

Parenting can be satisfying and fulfilling. But it can also be difficult and time-consuming. Parents must tend to an infant or child’s daily needs. They are also responsible for helping each of their children develop life skills. These skills include daily living skills, social skills, and appropriate behaviors. Parents with more than one child must account for the personalities of each, as well. New parents , overwhelmed parents, and parents facing mental health conditions may benefit from the support of a mental health professional. A  therapist or counselor  can help parents through difficult situations or behavioral concerns. https://www.lifebydesigntherapy.com/
