Caring for Ourselves

How did we start our day?

Did we awaken well-rested after a good night's sleep?

Did we set aside time for ourselves? Did we pray or meditate? Take time to do yoga? Or go to the fitness center?

Did we have a nourishing breakfast? Maybe some fruit and oatmeal?

If this is the way you started your day, congratulations!

If you didn't, maybe you're one of those who slept until the last minute because you stayed up late watching TV or playing video games.

Maybe you only had time to grab a donut and coffee. And no time to ease into your morning because you had to rush to get to work.

Sometimes life keeps so much pressure on us that we don't find time to be good to ourselves.

But if we allow this to become a habit life has less joy, less color.

If we regularly hit the floor running, we need to re-think what's important to us. I mean where are we going that we always must hurry and neglect the most important person in the world - ourselves.

We should plan our day so that we have time to care for our needs. Time to relax. Time to work-out. To eat well.

If we don't do it, who will?
