Just thought I’d add a few quotes about self care before I sign off on this topic. I can honestly say that I vastly underestimated the importance of self care prior to having to write about it. It comforts me when I read about others who have considered this issue from their own personal experiences with it.
“I had to hit burnout more than once before I understood the wisdom of balance- of coming back to my center for rejuvenation. For me, that now comes once a week on Sundays, when I clear both my schedule and my head to regather myself. If you neglect to charge a battery it dies. And if you run full-speed ahead without stopping for water, you lose momentum to finish the race.”
- Oprah
“I have this job that I love, but I’m also like, When can I go home? In a way, that’s good, because otherwise I’d never go home. I would just kill myself doing this show.”
- Tina Fey
“After I had Malia I began to prioritize exercise because I realized that my happiness is tied to how I feel about myself. I want my girls to see a mother who takes care of herself, even if that means I have to get up at four thirty so I can do a workout.”
- Michelle Obama, First Lady
