HUESKIINB | Self Care is the Vibe now

Self Care is the new thing to do now. But what's interesting to me is that, I remember when I started my personal self care journey - it was anything but a trend. It was a decision I made to do back in my mid/late 20s. I was working a job I didn't like at the time, and wanted to escape mentally. At the time, I didn't realize it was this time that I would take for myself would lead me right onto my self care journey. I must be honest, it was a bit bumpy at first but when I found my stride, I would literally be yearning for my "me time" at the end of each day everyday. It was my time to do whatever I wanted and to enjoy the quiet or just being. It then evolved into time where I would nurture my dreams and journal. It's interesting because as glamorized as self care is today, it's not always a pretty aesthetic process. And even with the good the bad and indifferent, I still wouldn't trade the time for the world. It's really become part of my life. It's what fuels me daily. I have to have that time each day for myself. So how do I fit this in? Many times, I am up at 3am taking that quiet time to nurture self. Before starting my day. Its hard somedays but totally worth it as I feel ready for my day.
