5 Ways to Be Kind to Yourself

Rest is not a reward for when you finally “get it all done.”
It’s a rhythm God designed for your good and His glory.
⠀
Jesus withdrew to pray.
Elijah napped and ate before hearing from God.
Even the Proverbs 31 woman *prepared herself* for the day.
⠀
You weren’t made to run on empty.
Taking care of your body, mind, and spirit isn’t an indulgence—it’s obedience to God's word.
⠀
💛You can step away for a moment and still be a good mom.
💛 You can say no and still be a kind person.
💛 You can rest and still be a godly woman.
⠀
Your strength doesn’t come from hustle—it comes from the Lord.
Jesus says, “Come to Me… and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)

Let this be your reminder:
You are not neglecting your family when you take care of yourself—you are equipping yourself to serve them better.
