Good morning, you guys. Happy caregiver Thursday. Good morning, Jules. Sorry, my dog is barking at the delivery person who's driving, driving down my street right now. So y'all hear skipper going crazy? Happy caregiver Thursday to you guys. I am a bit under the weather today, so I'm just. Just bear with me. I have my. My hug in a mug this morning, which consists of tea and honey and lemon so that it can help me feel better. So this is what. And it says, love you, pumpkin. So today I'm going to talk about self love to you guys.
For those of you who I have not met yet, good morning, Shannon. Good morning, Cindy joy. For those of you I have not met yet, I am Steph Irwin. Thank you, Cindy. I'm Steph Irwin, and I am a mom of two kiddos, one who is on the autism spectrum professionally. I work with hospitalized children in their families, and I live in fan of Georgia. So today. Oh, it's good to see your face, too. Let's see. I'm reading jewels. What do you do? You need to find self need. You need from your family, and nobody reciprocates it when you talk to them about it.
Agree to do it, but yet don't. Oh, Jules, that sounds like a hard situation. That does sound hard. I'm sure you're expressing your needs. You have to tell me if I'm saying this correctly. So you're expressing your needs, but you feel like your family isn't reciprocating what you're doing. That is. That is tough. That is tough. I mean, you may just want to keep. Keep reminding them. Keep reminding them, and, you know, there's no harm in seeking some outside help with that, too. Oh, good morning, Audrey.
I see you. I see you. I'm so glad you guys are all here. Thank you all for being here. And I'm sorry I'm under the weather. So. So y'all just, y'all just bear with me. Today I was supposed to work at the hospital and actually provide breakfast to families of pediatric oncology patients. So clearly, I am not there today. Thankfully, my coworker swooped in, and she is picking up that for me. So it's hard for me to relinquish control, but I know I need to do it to take care of myself and to keep everybody healthy and safe and.
Yeah, so here we are. And, you know, especially being a caregiver at home and then in the work field, I have to remind myself I got it. Got to take care of myself and that it's okay to relinquish some control sometimes, right? Okay. So, you guys, I wanted to talk to you about how important it is to show love for yourselves, and that can be really difficult in this caregiver world when we're showing so much love to everybody else, right? And we need to. Good morning, Luke. We need to show love for ourselves, too.
And today, you guys are showing love to yourselves by coming in to Cadre and just being here. So I appreciate that you guys are here, and just know that we all love you, okay? You guys are all loved. And I want to go through some affirmations with you guys, some self love affirmations, which sometimes I have to do for myself, just. Just to remind myself that, you know, I am loved and I am love, right? We're always giving love, and we need to give it to ourselves, too. So if you guys want to, you can say these after me.
These are just some of my favorite ones that I like to use. I am kind. I am smart. I am talented. I am good. I matter. I am enough. I belong here, and you guys all belong here at Cadre. I deserve to be happy. I am worthy of love and kindness. I am on my way to becoming the best version of myself. I love that one. I am not perfect, but I am growing every day. I can do anything I put my mind to. I choose joy and happiness. I am capable, and I am loved. So, you guys, I'm going to leave this with you.
Cheers from my hug in a mug to yours. You are kind, you are capable, you are worthy, and you are loved. I hope you guys have a great Thursday.
