Taking Care of Numero Uno

I know this is silly, but without you, you are nothing. How often I hear from my friends, my patient’s parents… Even sometimes from myself.. That there just isn’t a way to “fill in the blank”.  That blank may be exercise, go to the doctor, lose weight, take time to relax, work out problems with your spouse. The list goes on and on… But the excuse is usually the same two “because of the kids” or “I don’t have time”.

  Well listen up. If you don’t take care of Numero Uno then who is going to take care of those kids, your friends, your family,You? If you are not healthy- physically or mentally- then you are not at your best. You are not the best mom you could be, friend, lover, spouse, listener, worker, person. 

It’s time, and there is time. There is always time to do what is necessary. What is important. But you have to devote time to your own wellness. Too tired to exercise? Those 30 mins that you get up early will pay off with hours more energy during the day. The counselor or doctor appointment may add years to your life or spare you hours of circular discussion. No one can do it for you. 

It time. Get up. Get out. Be true to you.

With you, you’re amazing.
