Too often we feel guilty for making ourselves a priority, but why?

We need rest, it’s required – yet we often skimp on it. We’ll run ourselves into a state of exhaustion and then become frustrated with our inability to perform.

Our body needs nutrients, it’s required- but we’ll go about our day from duty to duty unintentionally fasting and wondering why we’re slow and sluggish.

I had to use the ladies room today at 4 pm. That’s the first time I felt the urge to go since 6:30 am. The color of my urine alerted me that I had simultaneously failed to rid myself of toxins and hydrate, but why?

What’s more important than me?

On an average day I’d probably respond with nothing is more important than me but in reality that’s not true, there’s a lot of things more important but I still need to make myself a priority!

Life doesn’t only provide black and white scenarios, there are a multitude of grey areas. Putting this into a day to day perspective decisions shouldn’t be approached from a me or them perspective, there’s us moments – and those are the game changers.

Tonight I’m taking care of myself by way of making sure someone I care about is ok – he’s good, I’m good – and yes, I’ve had my daily allowance of water.
