High Maintenance: Demanding a great deal of attention, money, or effort. Take out the "money" part and we all are high maintenance! Living a well balanced life does take A LOT of attention and effort. Self care is so important and can easily be pushed down on the list of importance for the day; it is hard to keep up with self care, it takes a lot of attention and effort. If you can give your life the attention and effort you deserve, your life and your relationships will benefit. If you can put in the work, everyone wins!
