Time for Joy - Book - Quote
Today I am getting all the guidence I need to take care of myself.
I need not keep pushing beyond my limitations. I am learning to listen to my body and my mind, and rest when I get the message.
When I was sharing with my new friend this morning, we talked on how we both needed to practice self care.
There is a big difference between selfish, self-centeredness of my disease and practicing self-care, learning to live each day to the best of our ability. Not abusing ourselves and others, but practicing a healthy life style and finding the balance needed in all things.
When I couldn't do the things I thought I should be doing, I beat myself up. I had to learn to listen to my body. I had to stop listening to old tapes.
