Relax. Frankie says so. And so does Melissa. Today is Labor Day in the US, though it should be more appropriately named to Non-labor Day. It's a day meant for friends and/or family and/or taking a break and/or barbecues. For me, it's the last day of my 10 days off from work, which means I need to mentally prepare to get back to the daily grind. That might include a manicure, some quiet time with a book and a glass of wine, and maybe even a cat nap.
Today's Assignment: Relax!
I'm sure you've all heard that in order to give your best to others, you must first be happy and healthy yourself. Don't neglect yourself. You deserve some pampering, even if it's self-inflicted!
The website, Socyberty has a great article titled, First, Take Care of Yourself. The article says the following:
In order to help others, you must first take care of yourself. Not by being self-indulgent, but by loving yourself. Charity that begins at home, that realistic kind of attitude.
If you strive to keep your mental and physical well being in good condition, you will then be able to help others, if they are in need. Be they family, friends or close associates. Not caring about yourself does not lend itself, in any way, to providing tangible or intangible assistance to anyone else. Keeping yourself ready to run, so to speak, for the purpose of being in charge of your own well being, will insure that you are mentally and physically capable of meeting any challenge.
So true. Be sure to give YOURSELF a little bit of extra love today!
