Today has been a very difficult day for various reasons. It feels like the end of a chapter. I think it is the end of a chapter literally and metaphorically. I have had a realisation today that I neglect myself and put everyone else before me. This notion of self-care is totally lost on me. I burn out and then I sit there wondering what is going on?

Nothing is going on at all. Everything in moderation is good for you. Being selfish is sometimes important and unfortunately I am not good at doing that. At the old age of 32, seems like I have a lot to learn still.

In a more lighthearted manner, I had a back massage today and it was absolutely amazing. I am definitely feeling the effects of it and I haven’t been able to sit up all day properly. But no gain without pain, right?

The end of a chapter is hopefully the start of another new chapter right?

Keep smiling everyone- it costs nothing!

With love,
