I love wisdom quotes.
I enjoy reading them (and underlining or highlighting them) in the books that I read. I enjoy sharing resonant quotes that I find on social media. I’m the kind of person who is always looking for insight, either in the form of lighthearted encouragement or in deep wisdom.
The right inspirational quote at the right time can be uplifting enough to keep you going through a challenging time.
Self-care is what keeps us feeling good, both mentally and physically. When you feel both physically healthy and mentally strong, you are able function at a level that wouldn’t be possible otherwise. I’ve written before about why self-care and self-advocacy are not selfish. It allows you to effectively and resiliently support all the people in your life who are counting on you.
How, then, do we introduce more self-advocacy and self-care into our busy everyday lives when we’re so often focused on everyone else?
Ah, summer mornings. As an educator, odds are you don’t need to wake up to an alarm or jump out of bed to get to work this time of year. If you do, it is by choice. Whatever your summer mornings look like, I would like to offer some ideas about how you might further indulge in the pleasure of lingering in bed.
