Life Tip #7

Practicing Xtreme Self-Care

Do you care for your own needs as well as you care for the needs ofothers? Do you feel over- burdened and under-appreciated? If so, this(abbreviated) checklist can be helpful:

•Give up the need to be perfect-being human is a hard enough job!

•Ask for help-why think others can (should) read your mind?

•During stressful periods, do more, rather than less, for yourself.•Make a commitment to have personal "time off".

•Cultivate a strong support system-family, friends, colleagues, which include those who are non-judgmental "good listeners".

•Laugh out loud as frequently as possible!

And remember, taking action is the catalyst for change!
