Chyler Leigh Instagram – I am a mom, a wife, and a friend. These roles mean so much to me and who I am. But sometimes, in making sure everyone around me is supported and cared for, I forget that I also need to take care of myself.
It’s #NationalFamilyCaregiversMonth. Whether you were a caregiver before, or are newly a caregiver because of the pandemic, I want you to know that you are seen, loved and appreciated – even if things feel really, really hard right now. I also want to tell you that it is so very important that you protect your #mentalhealth and well-being by taking care of yourself, too. For me, that means practicing mindfulness, eating healthily and talking to a mental health professional.
The truth is, taking care of myself helps me better show up for myself and those around me. It’s like what we’re told on an airplane: you need to put on your own oxygen mask before trying to help someone else with theirs.
It’s ok to not feel ok right now, but I promise you that there are resources available to help. Give @bevocal.speakup a follow if you’re looking for a place to start. Be well, be safe and take care of yourself – because you matter so, so much.
