"Can't clean up the whole room? Clean a corner of it. Can't do all the dishes? Do a dish. Can't get in the shower? Wash your face. Always look for the thing you CAN do, with the energy and focus you DO have. Little wins pave the way for bigger wins. 1% beats 0%." ~Dr. Glenn Doyle

Self-care is not selfish,
It’s an act of service.
Only when you fill your cup,
Can it overflow & support others ♥️
