       Are You Taking Care of Yourself?

       Inspirational Quote:  Self-care is not about self-indulgence.
       It’s about self-preservation. –Audre Lorde
       Notes from Lily:  One of the most challenging aspects of
       managing the untamed mind is going to be its insisting that you
       are not able to make time for yourself.  It will insist that
       everything other than your well-being is your priority.
       However, your ability to care for yourself, to make time for
       exercise, coaching, fun and downtime is tantamount to living a
       joy filled life.
       Here's the scoop.  You may have a packed schedule, in fact I'm
       pretty darn sure most of you do.  However, there is time for the
       self caring behaviors if you:
       1. Reach out for help from others so that you can create the
       time (aka husbands, children, friends)
       2. Eliminate or reduce television time
       3. Use your weekends to rejuvenate and take time out for
       yourself
       4. Eliminate anything in your life that is not bringing you
       tremendous joy during your free time.  This may mean friends,
       and even family members who are not serving you...This may mean
       events you are involved in, or groups you are a part of that no
       longer serve you.
       The only way you will see changes in your life is if you change
       your patterns, mix it up!  If you continue to do what you have
       always done, you will get the same results...so even if it is a
       tiny shift towards something different..do it!  And celebrate it
       so you are more likely to do it again!
       This is your year ...the year you took command of your
       lives..make it a doozy!
       All my love,
       Lily
