In order for me to feel good, I have to make sure all my bills are paid. Self-care is getting my oil changed. If I feel too separated from my kids, I start to feel bad as a mom, which that is not self-care. So yes, a lot of the time I do like to sit in quiet or I do like to go for a long, slow walk because I don't do anything quickly.
