Yesterday I was in Costco and I said to my husband as we passed a few other couples doing the same thing going through the motions… that I felt like a robot. Do you ever feel like that? By the time we got to the checker, just by the look on her face she seemed like she could relate to that remark so I shared it with her, and she said that she felt like she had no time in her day and that she was just going through the motions, and she could totally relate the robot feeling. Great news by the time I got home and unpacked and put it all away. I made dinner, ate, sat there and thought about my feeling, and I realized that it’s because I wasn’t really listening to my own thoughts and needs. I went for a massage and took a drive, and felt so much better. If you’re ever feeling like a robot, it’s probably because you might need to listen to some of your own needs. It’s great to help your loved ones, but just remember to check in with ALL your own needs. Don’t think that you’re being selfish. Know that you are practicing self care!
