Do you ever try to downplay your need for great self-care? If you're like many folks--too many folks--you likely do!

You may have been raised to believe that you should be ok, power through, and need nothing.

You may have been told that other people are more important than you are, and that you are a good person when you put other people first...all the time!

NO! Not good. Always putting yourself at the end of your list is DEFINITELY NOT GOOD! .

You may well become a tired, isolated, worn down, and resentful person, though! That's definitely not good.

You see the pattern immediately, don't you? You feel tired, and then, because a parent or someone told you that you should put other people first, you push yourself well beyond your limits. You "think you should!" ARGH! No, you shouldn't.

Sure, there are crises and you might have to push through, real emergencies. But, really, those are few and far between. Not much is a crisis or an emergency, but too many people live as though everything is.

If you're with, or were raised by, a Hijackal, that's how they want you to think the world works. And, Hijackals® are absolutely delighted to create crisis and emergency, after disaster and destruction. Exhausting!

Sounding familiar? I had to learn all this the hard way, too. You deserve to be healthy. That's your job. Do it for yourself. I'm giving you lots of food for thought this week, and next week, I'll add even more to help you think about how you really want to feel, think, live, and love.

HIGHLIGHTS OF TODAY'S EPISODE:

• Why you may not think you need to take good care of yourself
• What does it really mean to be selfish
• Why being selfish is not a bad thing when it comes to self-care
• Many questions to deeply think about, even journal about, to help you consider taking super good care of yourself in every way

I hope this help you see that more clearly. If you need help with this, I'm here for you.
