Caring for yourself

I wanted to share my recent experiences with you.  I’ve been dealing with a lot of health related issues - sore joints, a horrid cold, some complications from my c-section 2 years ago, and a variety of lack-of-sleep induced maladies.  So here’s my thoughts… if you don’t take the time out to care for yourself, then you will never get better and even though you think you’re suffering through to “make it happen,” you really aren’t.  So, stop staying up late to answer every last email.  Stop giving up time for yourself because you have a deadline.  If you prioritize and put yourself closer to the top of your to-do list, then everything magically gets done, and you don’t have to suffer or put off your healing to do it.

The hardest part about this is that you know, intrinsically, that I am right.  Making it happen is the hard part.  So, why not take a cue from AA.  Just care for yourself today.  Let tomorrow worry about tomorrow.
