Rule #6: Self-Care

Make self-care a part of your daily life. This needs to be one of your top non-negotiable’s. Just like you brush your teeth every day, you need to exert self-care towards yourself so that you live your healthiest and best self. Why is it that you put everyone else’s needs above your own? If you continue to do this, you will get burned out. There’s no way to escape that from happening, unless you begin taking care of yourself on a daily basis. This seriously must become a priority for you. If you drive your car for days on end, and never stop at the gas station to fuel it with the appropriate fuel…your car will break down. You must take good care of your car if you want it to run well and be dependable so that it can take you to all of the places that you need to go.

Your mind, body, and soul are somewhat similar, in the fact that they require the appropriate fuel to be replenished and energized. You must take care of yourself and daily nurture your mind, body, and soul. As they need to be nourished in order to maintain a healthy state. When you take care of yourself, you’re then granted the strength to help take care of others. Although, remember… it isn’t your responsibility to do everything for everybody in your life. You need to remind yourself of that. You must commit to making yourself your #1 priority, so that you can show up fully present every day and live in a manner that will allow you to be the best you that you can be.
