Are you running on empty? 

If you live with a chronic illness you've probably felt like this some days...I know I have...and sometimes too...we can feel like this for awhile. Is that true for you too? Do you have days on end when you feel like you're running on empty? Me too. 

But when you're feeling this way...what do you do for you? 

Our days can be busy and sometimes it takes a big physical toll on us and we can end up running on empty. When this happens to you...do you keep going or do you take the time your refill your tank? 

I think we can run on empty in more ways than just the physical too. Our mental and emotional tanks can also run empty. Have you noticed that in your life? If you do...what do you do for you? 

---

What do you do for you? I ask this question a lot, and I think it's an important one...because I believe that the things we do for us, can see us through our empty days. I think too, that when we ignore our needs... we keep ourselves down longer. 

So I'll ask again...when you're feeling like you're running on empty...what do you do for you? Take the time and give it some thought okay. What do you do when you're feeling physically empty? What about mentally? Emotionally? What do you do for you? What can you do differently moving forward to care for your needs better? Give it some thought okay? 

Please...take good care of you and when you're feeling empty...take the time to do what you need for you...time for the things that make you smile...time for the things that make you feel good...time for the things that help you to heal...do them for you.
