As a therapist one of the most important things that I preach to clients, staff, friends, and everyone is the importance of self-care. However, that same therapist does not always take her own advice because she is focused on the needs of others. I have been learning to be more intentional with my time and prioritizing my self-care and boundaries. This week I have had to set some very strong boundaries with clients and others so that I could rest and recharge during a planned vacation away. Has everyone respected those boundaries- of course not- but have I practiced what I preach- YES!
Don’t feel guilty by focusing on self-care! It is essential to keep your mind/body/spirit healthy!
