the time to care for oneself

[motherofjedi]

A very interesting perspective about the investment required if we are to be serious about taking care of ourselves:

There is a lot of that rings true.

Time is hard to find, and self care often comes last, and we are conditioned that "doing nothing" is wrong.

Eh......I need someone to take care of me for me.

I am horribly bad at it, I drive myself, I ignore warning signs, and well.....hence where I am.

Where I am mentally, physically, and metaphysically, all of which could be fixed but it all requires time.

Isn't it ironic that in an as clean and healthful an environment as we are blessed to have, that we cannot find the time for ourselves? I'm going to the ashram in India for September, where I feel totally taken care of because somebody cooks 3 meals a day for me. How lucky is that, and ironic that I have to go to India for it? Here I roll my eyes in despair when I think about cooking for myself!

All that just to shoot for neutral. Woah.

Although it does make you understand why there are so unhealthy frustrated people around since that's one heck of an investment in yourself.

Investment is exactly the right word. I need to think of this as something to do as consistently and automatically as putting money in the bank.
