Self Reliance Exchange has a short article about taking care of our health. As I said, it’s short, so I’ll reprint much of it here:

…are you:

• Getting enough sleep?
• Exercising regularly?
• Eating right?
• Protecting yourself?
• Taking your medications?
• Seeing your doctor and dentist?

While I don’t live up to my own standards, I do believe in this. Life is stressful enough without making it more difficult by not taking care of yourself. Inversely, I deal with stress much better when I’m getting enough sleep and getting some good, solid exercise.

It’s tempting when things get tough or tight to skimp on yourself. Don’t! You can only overload yourself for so long before you give out and are no good to anyone. Take care of yourself!
