Basic Needs

A 4-frame comic strip featuring colorful heart characters. Upper Left: A light blue heart character is standing on its tiptoes waving its hands in the air. Text above the light blue heart reads: Hey! Upper Right: The light blue heart is now standing flat on its feet with one hand on its hip and the other arm extended to show its watch. Text above the light blue heart reads: It’s time! Lower Left: The light blue heart holds 2 glasses of water. Text above the light blue heart reads: We gotta remember to take care of our basic needs. Lower Right: The light blue heart is taking a sip of water from its glass of water.

My surgeries and their recoveries have taught me some important lessons. 

The biggest is that there are very few things we actually need to do to take care of ourselves.

Ironically, those are the things that are first to go when we’re busy or overwhelmed.

Suddenly we’re 

🙃 forgetting to drink our water, 

🙃 forgetting to breathe, 

🙃 eating at weird hours, 

🙃 staring at a screen for too long, 

🙃 sitting for way too long, 

🙃 staying up too late, 

🙃 and not asking for help when we need it.

Instead of neglecting your self-care because it seems like more things to do, try thinking about the small things you can do for yourself.

You owe it to yourself to take care of your basic needs, too!

What are you going to do first?
