Take Care Of Your Most Important Asset - You

Why don't we take care of ourselves more? Aren't we just as
important as other people that we do take care of? Some
people have been brainwashed into thinking that treating
ourselves well, taking time for ourselves, is some sort of
selfish act. But that is not true. How can we know how to
value and care for others if we don't treat ourselves well?

We should all take time out of each day to care for
ourselves - spiritually, emotionally and physically. Time
needs to be dedicated to doing at least one thing every day,
spiritually, emotionally and physically, for ourselves.

Doing this will teach us the importance of loving ourselves,
and when we love our own beings, we will have plenty of love
available to do for others when the time comes. It may even
be difficult at first, but start caring for yourself today.
The rewards will be abundant.

Start moving toward prosperity today, whether you're ready
or not.

Action Step - In closing, I'd like to offer an exercise to
complete in the week ahead:

Caring for ourselves spiritually, emotionally and physically
is phenomenally important. I'm going to list ways to do each
of these (you may come up with some on your own), and then I
want you to choose one from each list every day to treat
yourself.

Spiritual - pray; read a spiritual book before you go to
sleep; meditate 10 minutes every morning and night; give
money or time to your favorite charity/religious body; have a
chat with a spiritual leader you respect. Create a spiritual
mantra and write it on a card, then carry it with you all
day.

An example would be: 'My spiritual self is aligned with the
Universe and I am blessed by the Creator with total spiritual abundance.'

Emotional - write in a journal; watch a favorite movie that
makes you laugh or cry; call a relative or friend and tell
them you love them; listen to soothing music throughout the
day or on your way to/from the office. Create a spiritual
mantra and write it on a card, then carry it with you all
day.

An example would be: 'My emotional self is balanced and
joyful. I am experiencing emotional well being at all times.'

Physical - take a brisk walk (bring along a friend/spouse/pet if you like);
start a physical fitness program at your local gym/recreation center; 
stop smoking; add more fruits and vegetables to your diet; drink more
water. An example would be: 'My physical self is healthy and
strong. I am in the best physical shape of my life.'

Keep a record in a journal or notebook and write how you
feel after you complete them. Then, at the end of the week,
review your records. Do you feel more confident/relaxed/happy/etc., 
than you did at the beginning of the week?  
Do you have more energy for the other people in your life?
