Something else I'm working to uproot in my brain.

[labelleizzy]

I used to feel like I was only of service to the world when I was doing something useful for other people.
I have been uncomfortable about and procrastinated on tasks that were "only" useful to me or that took care of me only, whether physically, emotionally or spiritually.

I'm learning how to value taking care of myself, getting water, good food, exercise, and enough social or spiritual time to nourish myself and keep from feeling lonely.

Has this been true in your life? or if someone you love acts like this, can I get an AMEN?

That is awesome! I have become aware that I feel I need to always be doing somethng for others, but haven't yet gotten to where I personally feel comfortable doing something just for me. I admire you for taking that step!

I think balance is totally attainable, and certainly is a necessity, so it is great, and I think I will add a little "me time" to my daily goals for each day.

Thanks for the inspiration, and hooray for you taking care of you - which is excellent!
