Daily Meditations Archives - Melody Beattie The Basics--Day 5
“What are the rules for taking care of myself?” a woman asked me. I started to answer her by giving her a list, then I stopped myself. “The first rule is to learn to trust yourself.”
Action: Make a list of your basics, then check in and see whether you’re neglecting yourself in any area. When you’re uncertain, ask yourself what you need to do to take care of yourself, or ask your Higher Power. Then listen and act on what you hear. Sometimes what we most need to do is so obvious and simple we can’t see it. It may also be what we’re resisting the most.
Remember, if you’re going through deep grief or a time of intense change, you may need more sleep than usual.
