― Helen Keller
If we don't value ourselves, and don't demonstrate that by taking care of our own needs, we can't really live to our full potential.
Imagine trying to develop a friendship with someone who only has time for you after all their other work is done, when they are exhausted, and who feels guilty about the few minutes that they spend focused on you. It's not a very satisfying idea, is it?
Dedicating time and energy to self-discovery and to taking care of ourselves - physically, mentally, and spiritually - allows us to know where our strengths lie, what our weaknesses are, and to make purposeful decisions in line with our values and beliefs. My morning routine includes coffee and a few minutes of quiet. This time allows me to prepare for the day ahead. I've learned that without it, I feel less grounded and less able to cope with whatever crisis erupts during the day. What do you do to take care of yourself?
