This is day 17 of 31 Days of Finding Joy in Depression. Yesterday, I shared about friends and depression. Today, let's talk about taking care of yourself.
Let's face the truth here: As women and moms, we're constantly taking care of someone else. But what about you?
I don't mean neglect everyone and run away now… though sometimes that is tempting! I mean, you've got to find ways to fill your own tank or you've got nothing to pour into anyone else. This is even more of an issue when you're battling depression.
Over the few days, I'm going to tell you some of the ways that I have found helpful for taking care of myself and making my life, family, and home run more smoothly.
What do you do to take care of yourself? How to you find renewal and refreshment?
