This is an excellent point but is hard for us to do as we're usually busy taking care of everyone else.
Somedays taking care of you can be as simple as slowing down for a moment and seeing a sunset. Or being nice to yourself by treating yourself to something special... Or taking 5 minutes to just be you... not someone's mom or husband or wife just you. It's like a pause.
Slowly the world comes back into focus for you. The A's in our lives want everything to be about them and although they may play an important role in our life, it is still OUR life.
Welcome to SR, we're glad you are here.
