Wake Up Call!! Start Taking Better Care Of Yourself!! Yes I Do mean YOU!!
When is the last time you took time out for yourself? When is the last time you decided to be selfish and take care of you? We all get distracted with life! Some tell themselves they must take care of everyone else and only give themselves what is leftover. What is left can be nothing! This leads to neglect, so you are neglecting you! You would not dream of neglecting the one’s you love yet you go day after day neglecting yourself! Sometimes there is a wake up call that is screaming “YOU MUST TAKE BETTER CARE OF YOURSELF!” This wake up call can show up in many ways, a health problem, a few extra pounds, less than perfect grooming habits? (yes my nails were screaming for attention) Whatever your wake up call is listen, and listen now!! How many times have you heard you must take care of you before you can take care of others? If you are not taking care of yourself, you are not giving others the care they deserve. We make many excuses as to why we can't care of ourselves; we have no time, money, things we need, etc. When the truth is you have the opportunity and you must seize it!! I am not saying take your rent check and go buy yourself a new wardrobe!! That is foolish. Take a few dollars from your budget from time to time and treat yourself to a manicure, pedicure, what you need, or something special. Quit complaining, about what you don't have and go after what you want. It can be scary, and difficult sometimes to do what is necessary to take care of ourselves, and much easier to make excuses and put it off and not do it. I recently met a massage therapist. No I didn't go get a massage; we just struck up conversation as I was waiting to see the hairdresser. He told me how he got himself off medication for blood pressure and diabetes! His sugar is under control and so is his blood pressure! Yes under doctor supervision. He decided to start taking care of himself, instead of abusing himself. He told himself he didn't need medicine. He shared with me how he did energy work and was helping a young lady heal herself, then went on to explain that at first she had to release and let go of negative behaviors before the healing could begin. I am by no means saying taking medicine is abusing one’s self, but oftentimes we get to a point in our lives where we don't want to be. Yes circumstance has a lot to do with it, but one can also overcome circumstance. Overcoming circumstance is never easy but it is possible. So here is your wake up call!! Stop abusing and neglecting yourself!! Take better care of yourself!! Do something extra for you once in a while. After all you deserve it!! Personally I am complaining I don't look like a supermodel! I could go for a makeover! Hear me television land. Oh they don't hear me in television land. Oh well, I can do better for myself. Television land is not coming to rescue me and make me over. Are they?? I can wear some make up from time to time, exercise so I have better bum, and take better care of myself, wear something beside a Tee. No one is going to pay me thousands of dollars to do that!! I have to do it for me!! So now it is your turn, I can't take care of you, you must do it yourself!! I can't pay you lots of money to look like a supermodel either. Wish I could. You are worth it go for it! No it is not selfish just practical! Be realistic in the process please. We don't live in fantasy land we live on Earth.
