Just Between Us Girls...
an editorial
Women do so much for others, whether functioning as single moms, or being primary caregivers for our parents, spouses, significant others, friends and extended families...While we are blessed with the ability to multitask and juggle our responsibilities, many of us routinely put the needs of loved ones' ahead of our own, submerging dreams and desires, and ultimately losing ourselves in the process. Years of stress and self-neglect can leave a woman feeling depleted and resentful.
If you can relate to this, then developing a good relationship with yourself is the first step toward re-discovering who you are and rekindling a love and respect for yourself as a person.
My grandmother, Baba, whom I adored, passed on years ago, but so many of her words of wisdom still resonate in my head as if she was standing at my side today. I remember her telling me once to be sure to feed myself before sitting down to nurse my children. She called it the unselfish act of "making a mother", explaining that it was critical for me to take care of myself first, in order to be able to fully meet the needs of my children. If you are running on empty and have nothing left to give, you cannot be helpful to others. I am reminded of this every time I get on an airplane, and hear the flight attendants instruct the passengers in case of emergency to put their oxygen masks on themselves before putting them on their children.
Setting aside time to take care of yourself is not only important, but a true necessity we can ill afford to ignore these days. Getting relief from the fast, hectic pace of stressful day to day living is critical to maintaining good health. Small indulgences can take many forms and make the difference between feeling fried and depressed, or energized and optimistic. Whether you choose to focus on physically, emotionally or spiritually nourishing activities, studies show that that the act of carving out time for yourself results in measurable improvements in our own health as well as the well-being of everyone around us. Remember the adage: "If mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy!" Truer words have never been spoken.
Nurturing your spirit is a wonderful way to maintain sanity, preserve good health, prevent premature aging, and make yourself look and feel good all over. We're curious to see what you do when you need to get a break, unwind or simply pamper yourself. Would you mind sharing?
Send us an email with a short description of what works for you, and let us know how often you do it (i.e. never, once a month, once a week, once a year, every day, etc.) and we'll share some of our favorite responses in next month's newsletter.

3 Baby Steps to Help You Fall in Love With Yourself!
"To fall in love with yourself is the first secret to happiness." ---Robert Morely
Valentine's Day is coming up on the 14th - a time when many of us reminisce nostalgically about "the one that got away" and think about finding perfect love. One thing we often overlook during this reverie is the fact that loving ourselves is a pre-requisite for developing a healthy, loving relationship with anyone else.
Have you neglected yourself for so long that you don't know where to begin? Here are three baby steps you can take to start the process of loving yourself better. They may feel alien and uncomfortable at first, but try doing them for 40 days in a row, and they are sure to become a habit that will help create a more positive, confident you.
1. Don't be too hard on yourself. We all like to get things right all of the time, but we're only human. Allow yourself to make mistakes. Laugh at yourself. Don't take yourself so seriously. You'll go to bed at the end of the day feeling a lot lighter and sleep a lot better.
2. Take a deep breath. Worry and anxiety are natural parts of life, and serve the very useful purpose of lighting a fire under you when you need to get going. But living with a constant sense of worry and doubt is bad for your heart, your head, your skin, and just about everything else in your body. When you start to feel yourself freaking out, take a few deep breaths. This simple act can do wonders.
3. Give and Accept Compliments. Try to compliment someone every day. It never hurts to let people know that they're acknowledged and appreciated, and learning to see the beauty in others can help you recognize the beauty in yourself. When someone compliments you, don't try to brush it off and dismiss it. Accept it graciously and take it to heart.
Here's the sobering bottom line: You are your own life partner. Even if you are married or in a relationship with someone else, remember that you spend every minute of every single day of your life with yourself. Why not get comfortable with your true soul-mate? Make the conscious decision to love yourself. You won't regret it!
