Join Women's Self-Care Tea Circle
Women are often socialized to prioritize the needs of others and see their own needs as secondary or
...They often feel they have no choice but to take care of others first, which leaves women short on time, resources, and energy to take care of ourselves. It’s not unusual for women to feel stressed, burned out, and unsatisfied with how life is going.
So, what does it mean to take care of ourselves? First, we can stop thinking of “self-care” as optional, a luxury, or selfishness. A true definition of self-care can be defined as, “the actions one takes on their own behalf in service of their well-being.”
Who was it that said, “we cannot pour out to others from an empty cup or vessel.” Whoever said it first, how true this is! Yet we continue to drain the cup or vessel dry, burn the candle at both ends, and demand our bodies, minds, hearts, and souls show up for our pouring out. This often leaves us discouraged, frustrated, sick, and berating ourselves when we struggle to give to others what we don’t have.
Coming together with the purpose of caring for ourselves can be strengthening and healing. Single-moms, women caring for aging parents, the chronically ill, desiring to have a better quality of life, women healing after loss, or anyone who recognizes etching out time to care for themselves is not a luxury but necessary if they want to keep giving and loving.
