We need our sleep. It restores us and keeps us fresh. But we sacrifice it recklessly. We stay up too late. We indulge our busy minds and lie awake thinking and thinking and thinking. We do not express our emotions in the daytime and we clench our teeth at night.We eat poorly, fail to exercise and deprive ourselves of fresh air. We discount our needs and then we wonder why we suffer.
Let's not. Let's take good care of ourselves, as we would a child. We know how children get when they are tired, or hungry, or need to go outside and play. So that they can feel as comfortable as possible, we attend to them. Don't we deserve the same?
I stop short-changing myself and honor my needs.
