Attentive?
At this point in the cycle, I’m focused on how attentive I am to my needs. It is hard for me. I’ve been working on this for a long time. I often neglect my own needs in order appease those around me. Honestly, most times I don’t even realize I’m neglecting myself. I am stillContinue reading “Attentive?”
Pre and Post Work Routine
