We have all been going through a lot of changes and karmic cleansing during the last couple of weeks, which may be making you feel overwhelmed and uncomfortable in your own skin. During this time of unrest, self care becomes more important than ever. Today, recognize that self care is not selfish. In fact it is the opposite of being selfish, as it strengthens you and enables you to support your loved ones and all those around you better. Recognize that you are worthy of your own self care and that in reality, you teach people how to treat you by your own actions and attitude toward yourself. By putting signs out there that you are a rescuer and will sacrifice yourself to help others, you attract the sort of people who want to be rescued and for whom it has to be all about them—not a balanced relationship.Self-care is essential for us all, but looks different for every person. Today, make time to listen to your inner voice to find out what you need to feel more content and comfortable in your own skin and then commit to it. Today, remember, be there for others, but never leave yourself behind.

Just for today, I create a stress free world for myself. I recognize that taking care of myself is a joyful experience and that I am worth the time spent on my healing. I nourish myself by saying no when I mean no and yes when I mean yes. I know what I need and I do not have to apologize for it. I am worthy of my own love and respect and everything is working out for my highest good. And so it is.
