This time of year has always been hard for me and this year a little more so than usual. A few weeks ago I realized I seemed to have lost myself and that hit me pretty hard. Since then I continued moving forward almost like a zombie, I did what I had to do but that was about it.
Yesterday I was on the last stretch of my run (on the
dreadmill) and I looked up WAAAAAYYYYYY across the gym in the mirror I saw my
reflection. I almost burst into tears because I realized I had just found
me. Ironically, I was listening to Lose Yourself by Eminem.
When acting as a caregiver for others it is so imperative to
make sure you take time to take care of yourself. This was one rule my sister set down on day
one, but unfortunately it doesn’t happen as it should. My sister notified everyone that I WILL get
two hours to myself every day. After the
past few weeks I have realized this is NOT an option.
I can’t emphasize enough how important it is to take care of
yourself first!!!! When you take care of yourself you take better care of those
around you!
Do not let what you can not do; interfere with what you can do.
–John Wooden
