Have you been putting off caring for yourself for too long? And does the idea of making that happen seem totally unrealistic?

I decided to take mini stay-vacations for a month (3 days off – including a weekend). Just to rest. Relearning to get to the place of a real vacation. When you work all the time – you gotta rest too.
Hi, Joyce. Thank you for all that you do. I hope this message finds all of you reading this well. How do I get to the bottom of finding out why I feel guilty for doing something for myself? I’m a wife and blessed mom of 5 beautiful, healthy kids.
I can be a people pleaser and I recently started standing my ground and yes, people will not like it. But, I had to learn that’s okay. I was called selfish a lot growing up but god knows your heart. Don’t let the narratives or negative thoughts rule over the truth. If people care about you truly, they won’t get offended or mad when you say no.
I imagine my life with money takes so much anxiety away then it gives me possibilitys of life improving abilitys always money related then I can help elderly aunts
It is 19 July 2022 @ 03h47 Tuesday morning, meeting with my sisters in Christ. A am a 53 year "young" male and enjoy my meetings with my sisters 😁 God bless you all 🤗🌹❤️
I am enjoying this video with "the girls" and their experiences. I have been reading in Joyce's book, "Be Joyful" and when I came upon page 179 I found what I was looking for. Joyce says that "Experience has taught her often that she has to treat others well for a long time before they begin to treat her the same way". (perseverance) I have just had a breakthrough in this area, but it seemed like things were taking an awful long time…………I was suffering……….and during that persevering time, I learned how to truly forgive others, and that's when I began to take the lovely soaking baths, and relaxing walks, and quiet times, and have a yummy treat, and even ask God to bless "me". I love taking care of me now, and it makes a ton of things in life easier. Bless you all.
I found peace and loveliness in walking through Garden Centres and seeing the beautiful green, growing things and beautiful flowers. I meet a few people here who talk about plants and gardening, etc. and then at the end of my walk, I go to the Cafe" and get a specialty coffee, tea or lemonade, and take it home and just sit and sip. It's lovely. (sometimes read too) (when a lovely wind blows through the greenhouse, it's like some place in Heaven.) It's refreshing and cool, and the scent of flowers comes wafting through the whole area. Invigorating!!!!!
I began to attend Church in person recently, and it's been good. Covid stopped that for awhile, but before that, I didn't have time to go to church, because I had "so much to do". 🤥
I relate a lot to Joyce. Our temperaments are very similar. I enjoy the variety of personalities and different places, and different ages represented here and brought together in these podcasts. It is a good thing from the Lord. I am 50 years old I have had 6 kids 4 are adults but 2 are still 11 and 9 years old. I feel alone due to the age contrast. I have never taken care of myself very well. I watched this particular podcast because I know I need to do more of that in different ways. Although I have watched Joyce for years and have been blessed in many different seasons by her words, experience , and wisdom I found a different kind of nurturing in this ministry I would normally just shy away from; and thank you all for that. I have always craved, begged, pursued and have even set many boundaries around my alone time with my Lord and Savior. I just want to be with Him and that gets complicated for me with the distractions of so many people. I get my energy from my alone time. I have found that if asked most if not all people would think of me as a extrovert, but I am not at all. I read somewhere that extroverts get their "energy" from being around other people and introverts get their energy from the quiet things and being alone. I realize we all can be both through out our lives depending on the season we are in. I just wanted to say on the whole I find peace when it is just me and God and I can think and ponder. I really get Joyce in this podcast but either way it overall speaks to us all. P.S. I got one month off from any kids about 2 years ago and I had to buy just food for me. I had no idea how to do that. I so relate to that segment ! and have tried to relate that exact feeling to my family members !
Boy do we all need to hear this time and time again..29 thinking like 40 with a body that feels like it's already in it's 80's overworking self, even doing the work of others trying to make up for. & find validation in killing self with work. Thank you ladies for this topic. We need to hear this over and over.
Thank you I know this feeling xxx menopause is really sad it’s taking alot out of me I know it’s from deeper roots 😢 I’m dealing with this it’s overwhelming and I can’t do things I used to do I’m 44 this is just the tip of the iceberg xx I noticed I have been trying to do to much and not eating right not I have kids and it’s hard to even get things done now I’m just relying on God and trust in him to get me threw it all Thank you Joyce you have helped me so much on time all the time Amen 🙏🏽 🎁🙌🏽💐🍯
1. My phone usage!!!! 2. Worrying and thinking about others 3. Other people are not my responsibility it's not wrong to protect myself and I need to set more boundaries on critical people who make me feel like a burden 4. Having a false sense of a responsibility and to take care of myself as a form of leadership 5. I don't have to be the one to care for others and sacrifice myself for others when another person can do it and better 6. I just can't do it all and I won't do it all 7. My identity is not in my family
lol im paying for it. I love pasta. my son took me for pasta from an amazing italian resturant last night with not regrets. plus this one med makes me feen for alot of sprite. I had both last night. now my spare tire reminded me. get back to no soda, only water and hot tea and no pasta for awhile.
I just now understand this a mom of twins teenagers and feel like I am always on the go! After caring for them I took care of my grandmother till she passed! And I was so burned out! And to take time to care for my mental health best decision ever
Young mom my foot, don’t exclude us old moms who have exercised our faith enough to have another child after 20 yrs who are overworked because God called them to Motherhood once again…oh wait, I forgot, I’m the ONLY one that God allowed this??!!!????!!???? C’MON!!!!!!!!!! There are also many Grammas & even Great Grandparents raising littles, even though didn’t birth them right? Watch your words, we are ARE ALL caregivers of sorts out here in the audience these days!!!!! Stop EXCLUDING people by your little age groups!!! Why would you want to exclude us older Moms who may be overwhelmed & listen to what we have to say also!!!!!
This is so eye-opening honestly! So awesome! Second time I hear it, God bless all you guys and everyone here who wrotr on the comments. Read your testimonies, and I oray in Jesus Name God restores your lives for so many of you cause of what you have gone through🙏🙏 Praying for each one of you! I also went through bein a people pleaser, thinking that what other people thought or say especially at Church that had to be done, and that I didn't care at all, only what leaders and other people said. And all because whne I was kid, many people including family and peers ignored me ot shut me up when I shared opinions or plans as if they didn't matter or were stupid, hence I felt that whatever I could give, say, or be didn't matter. So I abandoned myself for a long time, just beaing a follower of everyone and copying other people's behaviors, attitudes, acts.

Thank you for a beautiful Podcast, a one that hit the nail on the head! We care about others and tend to neglect ourselves, well I do that! God Bless and love from South Africa!
If you are a young mother please don't ever,ever let anyone,friends, family,your own mother make you feel guilty that you are not around your child 24/7 & 365 wearing yourself out,mental, emotionally etc m Being the mother they expect you to be. Don't feel one ounce of guilt for wanting 5 or 10 minutes to yourself, if you have a girl's day planned and you have a babysitter , if you don't have all of the laundry, dishes or housework done. Yes, they are super moms out there that can absolutely do this but you are not them and they do not need to discourage you for not being like them. You do what you need to do the best way you know how and pray for God to help guide you on how to do it. IT'S OKAY ❤️💯

My idol my inspiration ❤️ Joyce how I luv and am grateful for you
I am in a time of life where I can sit & take time for me. And, I don't want to get up & go. Is this a wrong self-care?
