As a person who likes to care deeply for others, but to live like I personally have no needs, my initial reaction to the term was an eye roll and scoff. \u201cSelf-care is for the weak,\u201d I thought.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As it turns out, those who do not practice self-care actually <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">become<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> weak, and I eventually found myself to be among them. A series of challenging situations and a lack of knowledge about what I needed left me physically and emotionally depleted. Normal everyday mishaps became catastrophic, my children\u2019s basic needs became overwhelming demands, and social situations that would normally energize my extroverted self left me longing for my quiet bed.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Isaiah 40 reminds us that we are limited. Like grasses and flowers, we will wither and fall because we, too, are finite (Isaiah 40:8). Therefore, taking care of ourselves is an acknowledgement that we are not God. We have needs that must be met. When we pack our lives to the brim and continuously run on steam, we are acting as if we are limitless. Why is it so hard to say no, slow down, and know what we need?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are 3 questions to ask yourself if self-care is a challenge.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Is this sustainable?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We all go through seasons of hardship and chaos, but have we settled for that being the norm? Are we in the habit of telling ourselves lies like,<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If I just manage my time better then I won\u2019t feel so stressed. If I land this really great job, maybe then I\u2019ll feel worthwhile. I have to say \u201cyes\u201d to this task for this person because I can\u2019t handle them being upset with me otherwise.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Sometimes we say yes to things hoping they will fill us up and make us whole, when in reality they are stripping us of the time and energy needed to take care of ourselves in a sustainable way.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>What am I scared of finding out?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other times our inability to slow down or say \u201cno\u201d is because we are scared of the silence. What will happen if I am left alone with my thoughts, my yearnings, my disappointment, my pain? Will anyone be there for me, or will I face it alone? We are afraid we have needs that God cannot meet, which will leave us feeling empty and abandoned. It can be scary to open your heart and mind to these thoughts, so we keep charging forward to avoid them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Do I know what I need?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Often we don\u2019t take care of ourselves because we don\u2019t know what we need. Taking care of yourself doesn\u2019t just mean admitting you have needs, but actually taking the time to identify those needs. The majority of us are disconnected from our bodies, which are begging us to listen. What does it look like to carve out time to explore what is calming and life-giving, to uncover things that bring lasting joy? Getting to know yourself is a way to honor the Lord\u2019s delight in you and to embrace your own unique identity.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Self-care is not about being a slave to the things that are keeping me afloat, but rather taking out some of the water in my tank so I am no longer drowning.I don\u2019t have to be everything for everyone all the time, and it is out of that freedom that I can be ready and willing to do what the Lord has called me to do. When I am not bound by my own agenda, or seeking to heal my own gaping wounds with a bandaid, I leave room for God to speak to my heart and meet my needs. Then I am able to live in the fullness of who I was created to be, and I am ready to do the work He has set out for me.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What is your next step in self-care?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Designate some time today to reflect on those three questions and make a list of things that you need to do to take care of yourself. Don\u2019t be overwhelmed by the list, but rather look for small, practical ways to incorporate these things into your life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some examples of habits to consider incorporating into your daily, weekly, or monthly rhythms:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Going to the doctor, dentist, chiropractor, therapist, specialist<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moving your body through stretching, walking, running, biking, hiking, swimming, yoga, dancing<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Engaging in a hobby like gardening, cooking, handicrafts, playing a sport or instrument<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Challenging your mind through reading, journaling, podcasts, audiobooks, writing music or poetry, learning a new skill<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Balancing comfort foods and nutrient dense foods, and drinking water<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Connecting with others in a deep, intimate, and meaningful way<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spending time learning about God, listening to Him, and looking for evidence of His goodness<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Establishing moments of rest and healthy sleep habits<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interested in professional or pastoral counseling?
