Adulthood is overrated. A great many people utter this statement out of frustration, and it’s not surprising. Being an adult sometimes comes with overwhelming responsibilities. Juggling everything from targets to meet at work, a lot of work to do at home, social activities, and other engagements, you would welcome the opportunity to trade places with that baby who has nothing to worry about.  The reality is that we know that’s next to impossible. The only way to be at peace with yourself is by embracing the numerous responsibilities and taking some time to focus on what is essential.

This includes self-care.  Self-Care is personal, and no general principle will always work. What motivates you and inspires you is different than the person next door. Look for the things that make you feel alive. Make dates with yourself and when you commit to working out or doing something for yourself, keep the commitment you make to yourself. We don’t back out on our friends, don’t back out on yourself. By being healthy about self-care, you will feel be better equipped to help others. Go live your best life.
