How important are You to You? Do you put yourself and your self-care first or last? Do you take care of everyone else first? Do you think that benefits you?
"If you don't take care of you and your body, where are you going to live?"
Daily self-care is crucial for your well-being. Finding the time each day to take care of you in a "selfish" way is key. Self-care is not selfish, it is self-preservation.
Everyday I speak to people who tell me that they are exhausted, not sleeping, hurried, not eating healthy, not exercising, not feeling good and wondering what happened to their joy.
Oprah got it right when she used to have her annual episode of her favorite things. The audience would go crazy and laugh and cry and they were overjoyed! Give yourself permission to indulge in YOUR FAVORITE THINGS!
Each day do something special just for you. Self-care is all about making yourself feel good, feel pampered, feel happy, feel accomplished, feel enlightened.
