This is a huge thing for me too. I fully believe that I'm out of commission physically because I don't take enough time for me and listen to what my body needs. I pulled myself out of a bed where I ended up for 5 years because of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (30 years a warrior). I am so scared of ending back up there, that I would push and push myself. That and I was told I was lazy for so long when I was just in pain that was so bad I couldn't think about anything else. These are issues I need to heal in myself, and I thought I had worked through them until my body was broken again. I see now that self care is so important.
Omg YES!! I hate that I have to literally point out the things that need done. I live with 2 other adults and yes I'm disabled and I don't work, but right now my body is broken. Do you know that my yard hasn't been mowed for 2 months and looks like a hay field? My oldest finally mowed the front front. But the rest still needs mowed. The inside is worse. You would think I'm the only one capable of cleaning. I'm OCD about my house, and it's driving me crazy.
My favorite me time thing to do is sit quietly in nature just "listening". Good lord, I took a break from this to take a shower, too. Right after I finished, you guys started the whores bath stuff. So freaking funny!! Love you ladies
This isn't a funny story, but I use my showers as a way to cleanse my mind body and spirit. I tell myself (it doesn't always work) that this is the only time today I will allow negative feelings and emotions (I also know that life happens and to accept them when they happen outside of shower time). I allow this time to acknowledge, process my thoughts and feelings, and release them. I imagine my stresses and shit rinsing away and going down the drain.

I don't talk to my house per se, as you guys do, but I do talk to the overall energy of the house.
I love that. I wish I had known to do that so I could've taught my kids.
You pointed out some boundaries that I need to uphold. I need time for me too.
Ohhh, I'm a medium. Can't wait for the ghost episode

That little girl in that meme! I NEED to be that!!
I will say in the guys defense, they are currently working up to 50 hours a week and sometimes my hubby gets close to 60. So I'm being patient.
