I sat with this question recently and realisedβ¦ I couldn't remember. π
As women β as carers, as healers, daughters, mothers, and friends β we're taught to pour until there's nothing left. We wear exhaustion like pride and call boundaries "selfish."
But here's the truth I had to learn:
An empty cup can not serve anyone.
Your worth is not measured by how much you give away.
Rest is not a reward, it's a necessity.
If you paused to thinkβ¦ or couldn't find an answerβ¦you are not alone. But you are also overdue.
πJust take a minute to think about ......
when was the last time you did something purely for YOU?
With love & gentle care,
Shamimπ
