Reflection
Self-Care
I am my best work - a series of road maps, reports, recipes, redundant prayers, and bills. (Reflection 148)
— Audre Lorde
मैं अपना सबसे अच्छा काम हूँ - रोड मैप, रिपोर्ट, रेसिपी, फालतू प्रार्थनाओं और बिलों की एक श्रृंखला। (प्रतिबिंब 148)
— ऑड्रे लॉर्ड
Why this matters:
We are constantly evolving and building our own path. Strength is not the absence of struggle, but the persistence through it. In this 148th step of our journey, we find that self-care requires consistent practice and patience.
यह क्यों मायने रखता है:
हम लगातार विकसित हो रहे हैं और अपना रास्ता बना रहे हैं। शक्ति संघर्ष की अनुपस्थिति नहीं है, बल्कि इसके माध्यम से निरंतरता है। हमारी यात्रा के इस 148वें चरण में, हम पाते हैं कि आत्म-देखभाल के लिए निरंतर अभ्यास और धैर्य की आवश्यकता होती है।
