Self care should be taken seriously by all people. It is easy for us as counselors to teach others how to care for themselves, but it is equally as important to practice self care as we help others in need.

Being a new mom, working, and going to school is absolutely exhausting. This past year and a half I have had to take time to reflect on how to fill my own cup again. Although I am happy, I am also overwhelmed. Being with my family is what brings me joy. I have set boundaries to help with self care. I leave work at a reasonable time, have certain days I work on homework, so that the remainder of my time can be spent with loved ones. In the mornings on the weekends, I wake up before the rest of the household and drink coffee on the front porch with the dog. Taking time to myself to slow down makes me feel refreshed, complete, and ready to tackle my tasks.
