you're right
You've brought up a very good point. People will often say, very casually, "you've gotta take care of yourself...", but sometimes it goes in one ear and out the other...because there are so many forces in life that demand that we "perform" to prove our worth. It seems like everything is based on how much we DO...and our kids learn this from the earliest age...
For example, in my case...I am raising kids, taking care of a huge home and yard, pets, husband, business...and last of all...myself. My ill and aging Mother cannot understand why SHE is not my first priority! Sorry, Mom, but there just isn't enough of me left over. The only thing I have to sacrifice is my personal care time (exercise would be the first thing to go). If I sink any lower than I already am, then I am no good to anybody!
