If ever I am tempted to excuse myself from an activity that would be categorized as “taking care of myself” by labeling that activity as “selfish,” I hope I remember that when other folks in my life make sure they are taking care of themselves, I do not consider it selfish. In fact, I consider it a gift. It is a gift to others around us when we make time and an effort to care for ourselves as best we can.

This statement is so true. When you do things that are loving toward yourself, you tend to love people more and stop complaining about them. Isn’t that an interesting concept?!
