As caring human beings, we tend to nurture those around us. As employees, employers, parents, partners and adult children squeezed into the sandwich generation, we focus our attentions on others' needs.
Sometimes, the well from which you draw that energy feels pretty dry, doesn't it?
How much time do you spend caring for yourself?
Now, don't feel guilty. Don't think of it as being selfish. Think of it as being self-love and maybe even self-preservation.
Carve out some time each day -- no matter how short -- to do something just for you.
Maybe it's time for a walk, a cup of coffee, a good read or listening to some music.
That precious time spent nurturing yourself is a necessity for a quality, joyful life. When your energy well is filled, you will be in a better place to serve those you care about.
Today, this week: Make time for you. It's an investment well worth your while.
