Keeping Your Buckets Full: Taking Care of Yourself in Good Times and Bad

We have all been there. We are going along with our daily lives and everything feels good and then, out of the blue, life throws us a curve ball and we find ourselves feeling downright terrible. And, while we can certainly wish that we didn’t have these tough times, we can usually get through them to find that the good times are that much better for the experience. We don’t always know when those curve balls are coming, which is what makes building in daily self care so important. Taking care of yourself during good and bad times can make the good times feel even better and help the bad times not feel so terrible.
