Do you ever feel pulled in many directions all at once? Do the needs of others - clients, staff, children, family, friends - often get put before your own needs? Is taking time for yourself at the bottom of your "to do" list? If so, you are not alone. Why is it so difficult for people, women in particular, to put their own self-care/self-nurturing needs as a top priority?
Perhaps it is the voice that says, "self-care is selfish or self-indulgent" that serves as a roadblock to taking time for yourself. Or maybe it is because most of us are multi-tasking and juggling to keep all the balls in the air - family, work/business, health, finances, and so on - that stopping to take time for your self is considered to be a luxury versus a necessity.
