Lately, I have dedicated a large portion of my life to helping others. I take time out of my day to set up calls and meetings to make sure those around me are taking care of themselves. I jump on a phone call, I send a text or I shoot a message to anyone and everyone I know that needs a shoulder to lean on and ear to listen. But, unfortunately, I rarely do any of those things for myself. I rarely take time for myself. I rarely jot anything down in my journal. I rarely take 5 minutes to meditate. This is something that I need to work on because I need it. I desperately need it. If you are treating others better than you treat yourself, what are you proving? What are you gaining when you don't take a few valuable minutes out of your day to be a friend to yourself? I have been asking myself these questions a lot lately. Through all the ups and downs, ins and outs, highs, lows, in-betweens and everything else, there is always one common denominator: Me.
