This quote is very alive for me. Self-care is not a bubble bath. It is listening to what my body and emotions are trying to tell me, regardless of the clever & persuasive arguments of my mind. When I over-commit—even to things that are “for good”—I end up trying to give from an empty well, and all involved suffer thirst.

Feelings are not facts—but they point to facts–and we ignore them at our peril.
We don’t have to let our feelings lead the way, but we do need to stop and listen to what they are trying to tell us.
(How many times have you stood among the ruins of a situation and said to yourself, “I had a bad feeling about this…”? )
