As I prepare for an upcoming teleclass about taking care of yourself, I've spent considerable time pondering the subject and looking at my own life. The premise of the workshop is that we are our own greatest asset - we have so many different roles to play in life that if we don't take care of ourselves, then everyone and everything else will suffer in some way. Because many of us spend so much time caring for others, I wondered how we would answer these questions and what those answers would tell us.
* Do you take time out for fun?
* Do you feel guilty when you aren't "doing" something?
* When was the last time you did something "just because"?
* How well do you take care of yourself?
Honestly answering the first three questions answers the fourth question. This leads to one more question:
What are you going to do to change this?
This is my challenge to you today: Do something for yourself today, even if it is only for a few minutes. You may just be surprised how taking care of yourself can help you take care of others.
Take care of yourself today and every day,
April Mims, Life and Career Coach
