Take Care of YOU!!!

We are approaching summer time, where lots of folks slow down the pace of their hectic lives by spending  quality time with family and taking vacations.  However, given the reality that is our current economy, many people will continue to work those extra hours for that much need extra money to pay those bills.

It’s a fact that we need our jobs to sustain ourselves, but it’s also a fact that we need to be in top condition to perform better at work and in our general life. We must take time for renewal of our spirits and minds. Not, trying to get too deep on you, SistaGirlz, but you know what I mean. Right?

Hmmm. I have a SistaGirl friend that is so wrapped up in the success of her staff, that she will hold her full bladder for an hour, in an effort to be present during important times of the day! This same woman has postponed her fibroid removal, because some members of the staff are “too new” to be left without her guidance.

While hard work is to be commended, self-inflicted suffering is downright CRAZY in this age of mass firings.  People are getting fired and released from their jobs whether or not they are ideal employees.  Corporate America will always do what’s best for their business’ bottom line.

When will you do what’s best for YOU? Take time to pamper yourself with a mani/pedi or a facial. If you’re hard up for cash, get you a couple slices of cucumber and sit outside in the shade for a moment of peace.  Get up a few minutes early to have “quiet time the Lord” as my mother says.  Meditate and read inspirational quotes.

Do something for YOU! Fill up your tank and you’ll be ready to hit life full speed ahead.
