I'm now going to say the most obvious thing in the world.
It's so obvious that it is completely ignored.
And because it is completely ignored, we tend to think it isn't true.
But it is.
It really, really is.
And so important.
Maybe the MOST important.
Obvious and forgotten.
And very, very important.
Ready?
I'm going to say it now:
If you look after other people, you have to also look after yourself.
There.
I said it.
And it's quite ridiculous that I have to say it at all.
Because its SO obvious.
But we COMPLETELY IGNORE IT.
I mean!
For goodness sake.
If you are a mother, a teacher, a therapist, a doctor, and healer, a carer...
And you DON'T look after yourself...
What's going to happen?
Yes, that's right.
You won't be able to look after all those people you are responsible for.
Sigh.
PLEASE start looking after yourself.
You're allowed to.
It's not selfish - it's ETHICAL!
