I am deserving of self-care and rest
Taking care of yourself is not a luxury, it is a necessity. You deserve to prioritize your own well-being and rest. It is easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of daily life, but it is important to remember that you cannot pour from an empty cup. You must take care of yourself first in order to be able to take care of others.
Self-care can take many forms, from taking a relaxing bath to going for a walk in nature. It is important to find what works for you and make it a priority. Rest is also crucial for your physical and mental health. It is okay to take a break and recharge your batteries. You are not lazy for needing rest, you are human.
It is easy to fall into the trap of feeling guilty for taking time for yourself. You may feel like you should be doing something productive instead of taking a nap or reading a book. However, it is important to remember that self-care is productive. It allows you to recharge and come back to your tasks with renewed energy and focus.
Repeat the affirmation to yourself: “I am deserving of self-care and rest”. Believe it and make it a part of your daily routine. You are not selfish for taking care of yourself. In fact, it is the opposite. By taking care of yourself, you are able to show up as your best self for those around you.
Remember that self-care and rest are not one-time events. They are ongoing practices that require consistency and commitment. Make it a priority to take care of yourself every day, even if it is just for a few minutes. You deserve it.
