Note that there’s a difference between being centered on self and being self-centered.
In all our busy-ness, we sometimes let ourselves fall by the wayside, trying to please a, b, c to z in our lives as well as meet up with so many expected goals.
It’s absolutely important that you take care of your physical, emotional and mental well-being which will equally ensure a balanced, happier person.
When you are ragged and run into the ground, your optimum ability to achieve may not only drop, but you become miserable and possibly grouchy towards others.
As you extend kindness to others, be kind to yourself as well.
Be kind to your body. Keep active.
Cut down the meaningless and mindless entertainment and use that as a me-time to rebalance.
There are many little ways that we can take care of ourselves. In another post, I’ll share my own personal weekly routine.
It’s not perfect and a continuous work-in-progress but it’s been useful and anyone can tweak theirs according to their individual circumstances.
The important thing is to recognise that there’s constant need to take out moments in time to rebalance.
P.S. You are invited to our monthly blog party this weekend. It’s fun and you get to meet fantastic folks
Below is my first just published Poetry Book “Out of the silent breath” which is available on Amazon and Smashwords.
When you buy my book, you support me in an invaluable manner.
A deep sense of satisfaction
of peace, I sense within
as the Sun peeks to say hello
I am happy to embrace me.
This couldn’t have been posted at a better time. Love thyself and spread the surplus to others. I feel so ragged by trying to please others…Love your post!

Thank you Sofia. I hope you are applying some brakes and looking after yourself a wee bit.

Good reminder. Easy to let it slip – but when I get so wrapped up in life I forget to care for myself, everything else seems to crumble around me.
