People are like seedlings - we need to be
nurtured and connected to nature, and our true selves, to grow.
We invest a lot of time cultivating everything else:
families, work, friends, and other interests. We look after them, prioritise them, and make time for them.
The thing is, we won't flourish if we don't take time for ourselves, our self-care, our relaxation, our mental and physical health.
We, through a lack of real effort stay alive, we may even grow but we will not truly thrive or bloom when we don't take the time and water ourselves and give ourselves what we really need.
When we become a priority, life gets better. We feel better, have more energy and ability to help or support others. We are not pouring from an empty cup, our cup becomes overflowing.
When we feel out of sorts, when we feel discomfort or discord there is a reason. Our life is communicating to us. It is likely we are not taking the time we need to nurture ourselves.
Action needs to be taken. What is it we need? What can we do to feel better? Time appears to be an obstacle, a reason, and an excuse for many people who do not take care of themselves.
We all have the same amount of time in a day; the difference is how we prioritise it. If you take the time to water yourself, you will blossom.🌻
