The importance of self-care
The importance of self-care The Importance of SelfCare Image Credit:YouTube Your health (happiness) depends on it. When asked what surprised him about humanity the most, the Dalai Lama replied: “Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.” You cannot give what you don’t have. For example – if you are tired and run down most of the time – what do you have to give? If on the other hand you took better care of yourself by nurturing yourself, eating well, taking time out, having fun and exercising – what do you think you could give then? Martyrdom is overrated! We don’t have to suffer and sacrifice our happiness and wellbeing for the sake of the greater good. What good are you if you are sick and/or injured? You are worth it! I believe it is important for every person to take care of themselves as we are all worthy of love and belonging. “Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy – the experiences that make us the most reasonable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.” Ignorance is not bliss. Exhaustion, stress and burnout do not equate to personal effectiveness or good results for anyone. “Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.” Thank You
