  Do you constantly put others first, offering support , and pour so much energy into those around you that you’re left feeling drained? It can be easy to get caught in the cycle of always being there for others, but it’s important to remember that you deserve care, too. Here’s the truth: taking care of yourself isn’t selfish. It’s necessary. When you take time to set boundaries, replenish your energy, and ask for help, you actually give yourself the ability to show up better for those you care about. If you’re healing from the habit of over giving, be gentle with yourself. It’s okay to start small by find little moments of rest, allow yourself to receive support, and honor your own needs. I believe that when I care for myself, I’m better able to give to those around me. You deserve to feel as supported as those you care for, and creating space for your own well-being is the first step toward getting there. https://www.lifebydesigntherapy.com/
