You is important

Why is the first thing to go when we get stressed self care and self love?

I've had a really rough past couple weeks and today it truly hit me how much I've let that stop me from doing things that make me feel good which only intensifies the problems.

I get stressed and I stop tracking my food and eating right. I stop working out. I stop writing. I stop taking and editing photos. I stop being organized.

So when I feel bad I stop doing the things that make me feel good which, well, kind of makes me feel even less good.


So quick note to self and whoever is out there - self care is even more important when you're down than when you're up. Make yourself a priority, especially if there are others that count on you. I now work in a job where I help broken people all day long, if I let myself tumble how I am supposed to help them? It's not selfish to put yourself first, many times it's simply being responsible.
