Reason number 48 why I decided to make self-care a priority in 2018 is….
Self-care brings me joy.
Growing up in church, I would often hear the saints say something along the lines of, “this joy I have, the world didn’t give it to me and the world can’t take it away from me.”
This is the way I feel about self-care.
Self-care is something that is mine to create and mine to enjoy. No one can beat giving me what I need even if they tried. For this reason I have joy. My own joy.
Joy: a feeling of great pleasure and happiness
What brings you joy? Write those things down in your journal or in slips of paper to put into a mason jar. When the world tries to take your joy from you, don’t let it. Go back to what you know to be true. Go back to those written things that bring you joy.
EnJOY yourself. EnJOY self-care. EnJOY the journey.
Be Well,
