I know this self care thing is going to be a work in progress if I want to be consistent with it. There are months I’m successful with the self care and month where I am not and that is okay as I still working on it. I have to say that this month has been a lot mentally on the work part. I seriously need to start taking more mental health days and not care or feel guilty about it. I need to be able to function and be focused at work.

It also has been a lot dealing with a growing teenager…this level of parenting is fun. There are emotions, feelings, hormones and so on going on at the same time and I understand because I’ve been there but now I’m on the other side of it. Just trying to be patient and understanding and at the same time parenting too. Also trying to prep for high school as well and I’m still not okay about it. My boy is growing so fast, he is going to be taller than me soon. I know high school can be difficult for some but I feel like my son will be okay. But I’m still not okay tho lol. I may be somewhere crying for the next 4 years.

I feel like as my life is shifting, so should the self care and how to make it a priority. As I always say, you can’t keep pouring from empty and putting yourself on the backburner. I will get there, I’m determined. Hope you all are doing well and practicing self care regularly.
