Selfish vs. Self-Care

"You are not you, when you're hungry" has been a slogan that Snickers has used for years.

So I like to say...

"You are not you, when you haven't been re-energized and supercharged."

If you don't take care of yourself, it's challenging to be able to take care of anybody else.

When you begin to say "NO" to people, they may look at you a little strange, especially if you're the one who always does everything and always tries to please everyone and keep everyone happy....

But the reality of the matter is that the burned out version of you is INEFFECTIVE.  You won't be able to give the love you desire to give to your family, perform at a high level of productivity at work, or have much to give to anybody, because you are NOT at your best!

So, TODAY...

take the time to slow down and smell the roses.  Take a walk, and leave your cell phone off, clear your mind, take in some deep breaths and enjoy the beauty all around you.

The CREATOR has made a glorious creation for you to enjoy.  Take time to do the things you enjoy.  Get re-energized.  Go get a pedicure, laugh with friends, read a book, sit in a dark room with some soothing music and just "be."  

Take care of you so you can operate at the highest level of effectiveness!  

Don't let anyone guilt trip you into doing what they want you to do.  It's NOT selfish for you to take care of you!
