I don't precisely know what you need to do to take care of yourself. But I know you can figure it out. -- Beyond Codependency
Rest when you're tired.
Take a drink of cold water when you're thirsty.
Call a friend when you're lonely.
Ask God to help when you feel overwhelmed.
Many of us have learned how to deprive and neglect ourselves. Many of us have learned to push ourselves hard, when the problem is that were already pushed too hard.
Many of us are afraid the work wont get done if we rest when were tired. The work will get done; it will be done better than work that emerges from tiredness of soul and spirit. Nurtured, nourished people, who love themselves and care for themselves, are the delight of the Universe.
They are well timed, efficient, and Divinely led.
Today, I will practice loving self-care.

Thanks for that. I tend to push myself beyond my limits. I sometimes think I do it to keep my mind occupied, and I forget that the program will help me keep my mind where it needs to be, if I continue to put half the time into it that I put into physical labor. Thanks for the reminder.
