Self-care vs. Sacrifice

Somewhere along the journey of life, love, and relationship, we have exchanged self-care for sacrifice. Sacrifice is simply the act of giving up something you like, or love, for someone or something else. Without a healthy sense of balance, this will quickly lead to self-neglect, resentment, and burnout. The goal is not to love others less, but learning to love ourselves more. There is honor in knowing that you are as equally as important as the people you support.
