Take Care of Yourself
Know this: there are people who sincerely love you. Reflect a moment and kindly consider them. When they think of you, they’re hoping for the best. So, do your part. Prioritize your health and happiness. Think about it. How sad it would be if you willfully neglected your mind, body and soul. Imagine how bitter that would leave those who have been invested in you all this time. After all, your well-wishers have front row seats to your performance. Any deterioration could make them reevaluate their own lives and set them up for an unhealthy outlook.
The fact is neglecting yourself is one sure way of stealing joy from those closest to you. One way to prevent this is honest communication. Those who care about you most would be more than happy to listen and share advice. Don’t struggle with troubles alone. It isn’t healthy. Talk. Discussing concerns is a most effective way of relieving concerns. Furthermore, if you have some physical ailment that you know is taxing and dangerous, don’t pretend you’re the doctor.

When you show that you’re invested in your well-being those providers will be more interested in effecting a positive outcome for you.

They can nourish you. Let them work their magic. You might soon feel a noticeable improvement in your condition. Your interactions with people would become more meaningful, your spirit revitalized. Before you know it, you will see that life is worth living and that well-being is required to capitalize on its many promises. So please. Take care of yourself.
