Taking Care Of You (TCOY)

Developing an enhanced awareness of yourself is what this blog is all about. Putting yourself in the line of priority, and right in front, is not selfish thinking but rather just thinking proactively. There is no better person to know, understand or believe in than you.

Doesn't it make sense to spend time deepening the relationship with your inner self? Depending on who you are, there may be a lot you didn't know!

Believe Me, It Needs Reinforcement
I chose my blog's title to emphasize a concept I hold to be vital. Unfortunately, taking care of yourself isn’t something that is likely to come naturally. Much like the flight safety announcement telling you that in the event of a crash you must first put on your own oxygen mask and then help others, the concept of taking care of us first needs reminding, as it is most important.

Think about it.

How can we show a deep level of love, attention and care to others if we haven't practiced it on ourselves? If we do not provide nourishment to our own mind/body/soul, we are not able to give as much as we could to everyone else and it will take more effort to do so as well. Isn't it hypocritical to not "start at home" as it were?

Don’t Be A Teacher
Besides showing a great example to others in our sphere of influence, TCOY sets up a stable foundation for authentic happiness and life fulfillment. Knowing yourself and having your needs met by you, rather than relying on an outside source, brings a healthier you into every relationship as well.

Hand in hand with these concepts is the belief that Taking Care Of You is important because you can do it better than anyone else.

As the saying goes, “Those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach”. My purpose here in all of this is to remind you that you “can” and empower you to “do”, rather than you spending a lifetime attempting to teach others how to take care of you (with less than optimal results most times, I might add).

It's TCOY Time
We read blogs about taking care of our home, our finances, our pets, our children, our marriage (or significant other relationships)…and on and on.

Worthwhile reading, I agree. It’s time to focus on taking care of ourselves now; it’s TCOY time.
