Whether you're a parent, a person who works in a helping profession, or are otherwise giving of yourself in a relationship, please remember: you can't care for others without caring for yourself.

By not prioritizing our own well-being, we are essentially "running on empty." Trying to care for others in this state, especially over an extended period of time, can result in increased stress, burnout, and even anxiety or depression.

Remember that your needs matter just as much as anyone else's. You are allowed to give yourself the time and love you deserve; you are allowed to ask for help; you are allowed to rest.
