So when did it click for you? Did something change? Honestly, something really shifted. The first time I canceled plans just to have some me time after a rough day. And, you know, I, I didn't feel guilty about it. That's a real piece. Parts your emotional wellbeing, actually getting some rest when you need It. Yes. I realized I could take a break for just me. I started taking these long showers after hard days just to stand there and, um, practicing, prioritizing my feelings, let me sit in my own thoughts long enough that eventually I reached out to a friend to say, you know what? I'm not doing so great. And nothing exploded. She just listened and, uh, just let me talk through it And it's like, why didn't I let myself do this sooner?
