Vanity vs. Self Care

Vanity is different from Self-Care.  Don’t dismiss self-care because it feels “vain,” and don’t excuse vanity by calling it “self-care.”

Even Jesus Himself allowed time for self-care and reflection so He could do His Father’s work. 

“Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.”
‭‭Mark‬ ‭1:35‬ ‭NIV‬‬

We weren’t created to be adored by others, but we also weren’t created to run on fumes!  Taking time for self-care can be incredibly humbling as we realize we can’t do it all and need time to refill ourselves physically, mentally, and spiritually.  Give yourself grace!
