But I Am Too Busy For Self Care...

In such busy world, finding time for self-care can feel impossible. Especially in our mixed faith relationships. However, it doesn’t have to take hours out of your day. Here are a few simple ways to fit it into your routine:

1. Put it on the calendar:
   Treat self-care like any other important appointment. Block off time in your schedule for it, even if it’s just 15 minutes.

2. Start small:
   You don’t have to overhaul your entire routine. Start with something simple like taking a short walk, meditating for five minutes, or reading a chapter of a book.

3. Set boundaries:
   Learn to say no to things that overextend you. Your time and energy are precious, and it’s okay to protect them.

4. Listen to your body and mind:
   Pay attention to how you’re feeling. If you’re constantly stressed, anxious, or exhausted, that’s a sign you need more self-care in your life.

When we prioritize self-care, we equip ourselves to handle life’s challenges more effectively and contribute to a healthier, more compassionate world.

So, take a minute to think about what you can do to take care of yourself today. Because when you’re at your best, It is so much easier to show up as the disciples of Jesus Christ we are trying to be.
