Protect the asset.
For many of us, trying to be the
best dad, mom, employee, business owner, etc. that we can be, we often
find that we don't have enough time to do things for ourselves. We are
so focused on being the best at whatever it is we are doing that we feel
there is not enough time to do things for us like sleep, exercise, eat
right, etc. It often feels like these things are an indulgence and that
we are being selfish if we set aside an hour a day to work out, or time
to go to bed early or take time to prepare food for the week.
Even
more ironic, is that those who are trying the hardest to be the best
parent, employee, business owner etc. are even more likely to neglect
working out, sleeping, eating right, relaxing, doing things for
themselves.
Here's the catch.
In order to be the best mom, dad, employee, or business owner you can be, you have to be operating at your best.
The biggest asset you bring to the world is you.
You operating at 100%.
You operating at 100% is the best gift you can give to the world, to your family and to your job.
An
investment of time in taking care of yourself is worth more to those
around you than a 50% you overworking yourself and ignoring things that
make you feel good and happy.
Moms are particularly
susceptible to this as they tend to put everyone else, ie: children,
husband, house, etc. before themselves.
Don't fall into this trap.
Think
of it this way,. When you listen to the safety information on an
airplane, they instruct you to put your mask on first before helping
others.
Only when you have your mask on can you help others.
You won't be any help to the others if you are dead. ;-)
