Yes!

In some ways, I feel like when we commit to teaching self care, it almost makes it more difficult to practice it.

Causes can become so purposeful and fulfilling that we forget that even a cause must be put down, even for a minute, so that we can continue carrying it.

I love the way you phrased this.

Like most of us, I'm learning this the hard way. When the Dalai Lama was asked about his practice, he said something like, 'Oh, to go on retreat would be so lovely.' It shocked me at the time.

It is likely a life long lesson.
