Smile Therapy by Janice Taylor, Weight Loss Success Coach, Hypnotherapist, Author, Artist, Positarian<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

People tell me that there’s just no time to take care of their self. People say that there’s no time to do the things that they need to do to be fully happy and healthy. They tell me that they simply “can’t, can’t, can’t” do much, if not anything at all for their self, because that would mean that they are selfish, which, in turn, simmers down to a reduction sauce of their being bad, bad, bad, which is always (and I mean always) accompanied with platters full of heavy-duty, weighty guilt! Sound familiar?<\/p>\n

Well, I am here to tell you that the way we view taking care of ourselves is upside down and backwards. There is nothing wrong with being concerned about your energy, your health, your state of mind, your happiness, and\/or your well-being.<\/p>\n

When we truly take care of our self and care for ourselves, it becomes possible to spread lightheartedness, good cheer, and it enables us to care far more profoundly for other people.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe refilled her pitcher, and in so doing,
\nshe was able to refresh everyone around her.\u201d – Queenism<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Self-care is neither selfish, nor is it self-indulgent. It is necessary!
\nMake time for yourself. Today!<\/p>\n

Sometimes it\u2019s just that simple.<\/em><\/p>\n
