It can be so much easier to take care of and be compassionate towards other people, yet when we attempt to care for ourselves we often land at a hard stop. We rationalize, making one excuse after the other for not prioritizing our own mental and physical health. We tell ourselves we do not have the time today for that 15 minute walk, lunch with a friend, or to start reading that new book. Then this day runs into the next until we find ourselves drained and sapped of all energy, as we have allowed ourselves to be run into the ground. This can lead to burn out, accompanied by a deep sense of regret and resentment for all we have given that has gone unnoticed and unappreciated.
