Did these weekend quotes inspire you to make time for self-care?

After a hectic workweek, weekends are often spent playing catch up. You’re often catching up with friends and family, engaging in haircare/skincare routines, and doing household chores (i.e. laundry). With so many things to do, it can be hard to find relaxation.

Whether it’s an hour of time or an entire day, make sure that you are scheduling self-care. Leave a substantial amount of time open in your schedule to do things that make you happy.

I have learned that having true relaxation time prevents burnout and keeps me powered up for the coming workweek.
