Juggling Priorities & Managing Self-Care
How do you manage prioritizing your own self-care when life is hectic and busy? Are you able to be flexible when things change, and can you ask to have your needs met? If not, what gets in the way? When plans change, are you able to have self-compassion for yourself and others, or do you get angry and upset that things haven’t gone as planned? I got a puppy, so you’ll hear audio when Steve agreed that we could get a dog, our sweet dog playing, and how I’m juggling paddling with caring for a puppy.
