Caring for yourself as you care for others.Very often though,we tend to focus on "body care" when we talk about taking care of ourselves or giving care to other people.Our first concern,of necessity,is to make sure we get enough food,water,and shelter.Our emotions and feelings are recognized as part of who we are,and we work on keeping emotional balance.In addition,we have a spiritual aspect of our lives that keeps us connected to nature,the things that we see,and also the things we are unable to see yet believe in.Most of us spend each day trying to balance the needs of our body,mind,and spirit.
If you consider yourself an important part of someone else's life,think of the possible effect of neglecting to take care of yourself as much as you think of caring for someone else.You are helping another person to meet the everyday needs that all human beings have.
