25-NOVEMBER-2024 - THE NEED FOR SELF CARE

THE MAIN THEME: HOW DO I GET TO WHERE I AM GOING?

TITLE: THE NEED FOR SELF CARE

The quote for today’s devotional is:

Even the lion protects himself against flies. - African Proverb

Devotional:

Self-care is not selfish; it is necessary. Even the strongest creatures know when to pause, to protect themselves from the small irritations that could become big distractions. In our fast-paced world, it's easy to forget that taking care of ourselves physically, mentally, and spiritually is vital for long-term success and well-being. Self-care allows us to be more present for others, more effective in our work, and more aligned with God’s purpose.

Here are a few reflective questions:

  1. Do I love myself?
  2. In what ways have I neglected self-care recently?
  3. How can I incorporate moments of rest and rejuvenation into my daily routine?
  4. What small irritations do I need to pause and protect myself from?

LET US PRAY:
Lord, teach me to care for myself as You care for me. Help me to see self-care not as an indulgence, but as a way to honor the body and mind You have given me. Amen.

 Please say these words of affirmation. Say them, mean them, own them and live them:

  • Self care is essential to help me get to where I am going.
  • I will prioritize my well-being.
  • I honor my body, mind, and spirit by giving them the rest they deserve.
  • I give myself permission to pause, reflect, and rejuvenate.

Do have a rest filled day. Take good care of yourself and see you tomorrow!
