Take Good Care!

Hey SoulShiners!!! I hope that this note finds you happy, confident, and feeling healthy. If this is not exactly the way that you're feeling this morning, then change it. You have the power. Although life tends to be busy, please make sure that you're taking care of yourself and taking time to enjoy life! That's my goal for this week. I'm going to get outside and run and enjoy the beautiful leaves! I'm going to try my best at being present.

How do you do when you're busy? Do you forget about yourself? Please try very hard not to. Do you know how when you're flying, you're supposed to put on your own air mask before you help others with theirs? Well, that's not a selfish move, it's a move to get your mind right so that you will be able to successfully take care of the people around you. Same goes in life. Take care of yourself, nurture your soul with good food and exercise and rest, and then you'll be a rockstar caregiver. This is not selfish!

Take good care of yourself, take good care of others, end of story.
