I'm Important Too

BCOF November 5th prompt: Write about self-care and what it means to you.          

Self-care means I matter. It means I strive to tend to my needs. It means I deserve pampering and self-respect.

         I recognize and acknowledge that I am not perfect and sometimes I struggle. There are times I will fail, fall flat, but I brush myself off and try again.          

I do not begrudge myself me time. Reading and writing are solitary pursuits that I enjoy.

         I bribe myself to walk and exercise. It's for my own good, move it or lose it. My knees may protest, but I am insistent.

         Self-care means I am better able to care for my family.With the respite of me time, I'm better equipped to deal with stress.
