You’re the one people lean on - the steady presence, the helper, the problem-solver.

You’re constantly making things happen behind the scenes, holding it all together so others don’t have to.

But somewhere between the errands, appointments, and emotional labor, your own needs get pushed to the bottom of the list.

Not because you don’t care - but because there’s always someone else who needs something first.

The good news? You don’t need huge chunks of time or a total routine overhaul. You just need small, consistent moments that are yours.

Not sure where to start? Here are some simple strategies to keep in mind to make things easier.

Start small, then go smaller
You already give a lot - your time, energy, and focus. The habits that stick will be the ones that feel doable even on your busiest, most chaotic days. If something feels like a stretch, shrink it.

Make your needs visible
Block time for you on the calendar, set reminders, and communicate your goals with those around you. You’re not being selfish - you’re creating space to keep showing up for others and yourself.

Stack habits into what’s already working
If you already pack lunches, prep your own at the same time. If you're running errands, bring some high protein snacks in the car. Piggyback your goals onto routines you’re already doing for others.
