One of the most significant aspects of my personal self-care is taking time to be still. For me, that’s stillness with God, but it might look different for you. I need time to pray, to gain perspective, and to simply be. Even though I’m aware of this, that doesn’t mean I engage in meditation enough. I wait until life is overwhelming and I’m wildly stressed out before I practice self-care. And…. that often results in burnout!

So if you’re feeling overwhelmed, overtired, and overworked, take time to be quiet. Even if you’re not, take time to be quiet. Slow down, for even five minutes to breathe. If you need help staying focused, check out this guided meditation. I hope you find rest today.
