I did let go of one project just last week, that was a surprise to myself. Sometimes I think I overestimate what I am able to handle.qhealthbeautyhttp://qhealthbeauty.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487100812503625761.post-14137063259554508262009-03-13T12:35:00.000-05:002009-03-13T12:35:00.000-05:00Yeah Dawn-That's right...and I bet your husband noticed it too!!

I felt so refreshed after taking time yesterday to enjoy a lovely meal and a facial (with you know who!). I never do that, and yet, it makes such a difference in how I feel physically, how I feel about myself, and how I relate to others. It's great to remind ourselves that yes, we matter! I was reading somewhere that "extreme self care"--making exercise, grooming, nutrition and rest priorities--is a key to success in life. If you don't take care of yourself first, you can't bring your best to any situation.

If you pass out, you are no good to anyone else.<BR/><BR/>It's hard for women sometimes because we are nurturers, but we have to give ourselves permission to care for ourselves, even if we are criticized for it.donnaasternhttp://www.twitter.com/donnaasternnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487100812503625761.post-6282085385022373612009-03-13T11:17:00.000-05:002009-03-13T11:17:00.000-05:00Wow thanks so much for this reminder. As women we go and do all the time for mostly others. What a wonderful reminder!<BR/>Sandra HerseySandra Herseyhttp://www.girlsdailyblog.comnoreply@blogger.com
