Figuring out a way to care for ourselves might feel like another task, something we don’t have the time or capacity for. We often feel overwhelmed or even frustrated at the idea of self care, so we don’t do anything.
What if we think of it as an opportunity, a way to be instead of something to do. This is where the power of 20 comes in. Set aside twenty minutes a day just for you. Twenty minutes to walk, move your body, nap, journal, or even sit outside. There is so much power in taking just 20 minutes for you. This is a way to step into more healing for your mind and your body.
Protect this time as you would any other meeting or appointment: no phones, no tasks, just you. Notice how you feel, and hopefully this will become a way to honor who you are and what you need. You are worthy of taking up space.
