What makes you tick?

What do you do to relax? Listen to music? Watch TV? Read a book? Go for a walk/run/hike? Craft? Build things? All of these things can help us relax.

Over the past couple of weeks I keep being reminded to take care of myself to take time for myself. For me caring for myself looks a little different than it does for others. For me caring for myself is caring and listening powerfully to the other people in my life.

Don’t get me wrong. I love my music and books and spending time crafting. I even love a good run and all of those things help me forget about my day for a time. But really what refills me is caring for my friends and family.

I sometimes I think that I am wired odd. Most people find listening to others as draining. I don’t. I want to hear what is on your heart, what you are struggling with. I may not have the answer but I have the ability to listen, to allow you to feel heard.

I think that we have lost are ability to listen. Just as we have lost are ability to relax. We need these things in our lives to succeed. We need to take care of ourselves and others. Remember to tell people that you love them.

Until next time,
