Story- Susanna Wesley raising 19 kids.
Problem/Stress: The lie we believe is that we are selfish to care for ourselves, but this creates tons of stress.
Solution and Examples: Self Care is like the oxygen mask dropping on the airplane. Put your mask on so that you can take care of others.
Here is the bottom line = Your children will grow up to be like you. Do you want them to never care for themselves? Of course not. Baby step your way to take care of your spiritual, emotional, mental, relational, and physical self.
"To preserve health is a moral duty . . . we can no longer be useful when we are not well. " - Samuel Johnson
