After all the giving comes retreat, pulling inward, taking time for rejuvenation. After expansion naturally comes a time of retraction. It is only in taking care of the self properly that you will have energy to give again when the time comes. Constant giving with no self care leads to exhaustion and resentment. Keep your loving heart open, flowing and glowing, but turn inward to care of the self now. Do whatever is needed in whatever way is right for you. There are no rules except the natural rules of constant change and evolution. After a time of giving to others it’s time to give to the self. It’s only natural.
