Self-care and rest are essential because they help you recharge, stay healthy, and show up as your best self. When you take time to pause, relax, and do things that bring you joy, you’re not being selfish—you’re making sure your body, mind, and spirit are cared for. Rest helps reduce stress, improves your focus, and boosts your mood. In short, you can’t pour from an empty cup—taking care of you means you’ll have more to give to others, too!
Mark 6:31: Jesus himself sought quiet places for rest and reflection, demonstrating the importance of intentional breaks for renewal.
I have linked below previous blog posts related to self-care and rest. I have also linked a post related to small business as I want to share information about a small business owner who approached about sharing her products and social media information with my blog readers. Thank you, Tiombe, for reaching out to me about this opportunity.
I checked out Tiombe's Instagram Living on the Butter Side and I like what she is sharing. I personally do not use TikTok but Tiombe is also on TikTok . Finally, she has an Etsy Shop with some really cute products that I might consider purchasing in the future. If you are interested in note cards, journals, and other self-care related products, I encourage you to check out Tiombe 's Etsy.
At the end of the day, no one can truly take care of you the way you can. Others may offer support, but only you know what your mind, body, and soul truly need. If you neglect yourself, it eventually catches up—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Choosing to care for yourself isn’t a luxury; it’s a responsibility. You owe it to yourself to slow down, listen to what you need, and give yourself the same kindness and attention you so freely give to others. Because if you don’t make your well-being a priority, no one else can do it for you.
