I get a massage almost every week no matter where I am, eat a healthy diet, schedule time alone, and if I get to a point where I feel I need a block of time...I'll cancel. -- Anne Wilson Schaef
Do we love and care for our body as well as we love and care for our home and car? Do we feel our body deserves full attention and a loving maintenance plan? Taking our body for granted is easy because of its remarkable durability and regenerative power. We may get lulled into a false sense of "nine lives" body security, believing our physical being will fix itself no matter what.
Self-care takes time and priority planning to be successful. We may find we put off our exercise and nutritional needs saying, "Tomorrow I'll start taking better care of myself." But sooner or later tomorrow comes, and our body produces symptoms that demand attention. Learning to love and nurture our body brings rewards without measure. We deserve to reap the benefits starting today.

indeed
self care
when I was 17 (recovering from a broken heart) I was walking along the street feeling very morose and some random chap said to me
"if you don't smile, no one is going to smile for you"
strangers don't talk to me much, but I have never forgotten that
so, TYVM for the reminder
Love this TFTD, Mel!
" Learning to love and nurture our body brings rewards without measure. We deserve to reap the benefits starting today.
True.
I find that if I take time to give care and attention to my 'spirit' it will always guide me to what I need to do for my body. The two seem to go hand-in-hand for me.
Happy Saturday, dear lady!
