As busy women, we can often forget to take care of ourselves. Heck, I even see women so busy that they don’t eat breakfast because they’re taking care of everybody else! Being able to recognize the importance of caring for yourself, above all others is key. Because when you are your best, you are better for everyone you want to care for.

I run a retreat for women that I adore doing. As the intuitive leader of the event, I put all my strength, love and energy into holding the container where they breakthrough, love more, and learn to be their best selves. I always remember before going to take care of myself, and nurture ME to be ready to do what I do at that retreat.

This last one I forgot to do it coming home. I ran errands on the way back, I prepared for cooking meals when I got home, and I woke up the next day completely worn out. Almost lifeless and used up. I had scheduled a video interview for that day and I knew I wasn’t going to make it.

I LOVE my retreat, please don’t misunderstand. Sometimes you give everything to something you love….as long as you know how to self love.

That’s when we have to know to reach out and ask for what we need and then take care of self. I did exactly that and feel completely rejuvenated. Do you love yourself enough to know when to take care of yourself?
