Self Care is a Necessity, not a Luxury

Often in life, when we are pressed for time or get carried away, self care is the first thing that gives way.
We start to forget to eat well, to get sufficient workouts and sleep.
I have had first hand experience of the HUGE NEGATIVE impacts of not having enough good sleep, recently.
With a VERY fuzzied mind and body, I was like a Zombie the whole day, and my workout at the gym was almost redundant (despite my best effort to do my best).
So last night, I decided to go to bed earlier to ensure at least 8 hours of sleep.
And what a huge huge difference in how I feel and look this morning.
I felt so refreshed, so energetic and so ready to take on challenges and activities in life.
From now on, I shall make a more conscious effort to rest & sleep better :)
