Be Sensible

Remember Yourself

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 7 months ago 1 min read
Don't forget "YOU"

“Be there for others,

but never leave yourself behind”

Every one of us does a lot for other people.

Our lives revolve around us taking care

of our loved ones, friends and family.

But what about us?

How much time do we give to ourselves every day?

We can give ourselves important self-care time

and

look after those we love because —

there are enough hours in the day!

Prioritizing both

means that we are using our days wisely

and that we have control of our time.

Plus,

we are staying balanced

by caring for ourselves

as well as looking after others.

Never be so busy

looking after someone else’s

mental and physical health

that we neglect our own.

And if you really are too busy

then stop

and re-arrange your time

during the day.

Because you are just as important

as those you are caring for.

We must never neglect

our own self-care

but make that routine

of (at least) ten minutes every day

to rest, refresh and renew

our minds and our bodies.

By doing this,

we will always have something of ourselves

to give to others.

It is noble to look after others

and

it is sensible to look after ourselves.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
