Why self-care is so important

Self-care is where it all starts. There is a time and place for everything, even when it comes to being selfish. And the time is to be selfish is now and the place is called your body. Nothing in this world is more important than yourself. Friends, jobs, and even family come second for one simple reason, you are no good to anybody unless you are the best you can be yourself. You must take care of your temple (body), it’s your vehicle throughout your journey, and taking care of it is a lifetime commitment. Keep negative people as far away from you as possible. What comes across as negative vibes is just a mismatch when it comes to the spiritual level that each of us is on. Some are more advanced, while others have to learn a thing or two but it is not your responsibility to sacrifice your own time to develop another human’s spiritual character, everyone is on their own journey. I cannot stress enough how important this point is, because nothing is as valuable as time, especially when it comes to self-care. I will periodically update this page whenever I feel the need to. Even though I am not the keeper of all knowledge, certain rules have helped me become a more fulfilled and confident person. And those suggestions are based on love, logic & common sense.

Self-care rules

Rule # 1

I always come first. There is nothing more important than my own health, wellbeing, and peace. Family, friends, and job come second.

Rule # 2

Regular temple care (workout routine) is mandatory. Everything starts there.

Rule # 3

Shake negativity. People who do not positively add to my life cannot be part of my life, not even for a second. The most precious thing in this existence is time.
