“Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you.” ~@ANNELAMOTT

“When you take care of yourself first, you show up as a healthy, grounded person in life,” says Bob Rosen, author of Grounded: How Leaders Stay Rooted in an Uncertain World. Oriented around survival, it’s in our nature to take care of our own needs first. The instinct eventually got a bad rap, however, and became the source of negative emotions like fear and guilt. If you can’t take care of yourself, then you can’t care for others. Being selfish is critical. As we evolved, we developed higher-order needs, such as becoming community-centered. Our theory of human development is based on a model that you’re either selfish or you’re community-oriented. The truth is that you need to be both. It’s not an either-or.”

"We seem to have trouble even feeling like we're worthy of being put on our own list of priorities," says Amy Tiemann, author of Mojo Mom: Nurturing Your Self While Raising a Family and founder of Mojomom.com. If you can't do it because you feel like you deserve it, look at it this way: You are a first responder. An emergency can come up at any time, and you should be as well-rested and restored as you'd want your ER doc or EMT to be."
