These past few weeks have been really tough to push through.. I had to take a few moments to think about what makes me get out of bed everyday. This is not on a depression level but on a tired of pain level. I had to think about my child, my husband, the people who depend on me to really be there for them. At the same time I was pouring from an empty bucket. I had to take the time to assure myself I was giving my best even if my body wasn’t. This goes beyond self care, but having a quiet moment to yourself and give yourself that pep talk that you deserve. We as chronic warriors always beat ourselves up about what we don’t do, it’s important to take time and pat yourself on the back about what you’re able to accomplish. If no one has told you lately. YOU’RE AWESOME!!
