Friends, it is important to set healthy boundaries even with those that are closest to you. Saying "no" because your body, your mind, your spirit is clamoring for you to slow down and bring your life back into balance, is ESSENTIAL. #dontapologizeforthis #bekindtoyourself #stewardingyourwellbeingisimportant #selfcare

Find ways to fill yourself up. You cannot pour from an empty cup. #selfcare #bekindtoyou #replenishment
