I choose to make my personal well-being a priority. When I take care of myself first, I have more time and energy to devote to the people I love. Therefore, I carve out time for myself and protect that time.

I am in good physical condition because I choose to make choices that support my healthy lifestyle. Because of these healthy choices, I am fit and full of energy to offer others. I ensure that I get enough rest to be adequately prepared for the day ahead. Only then do I embark on satisfying the requests of others.


When I begin to feel overly stressed, I remember that I must tend to my personal well-being. I take a moment to relax and figure out the most efficient method of going about my responsibilities. I respond to stress by seeking the option that nourishes me best.

Sometimes, I must rely on others to help me. I am comfortable asking for help when I need it. I delegate tasks and routinely enlist the aid of others to lighten my load. Because I'm comfortable asking for help, my load is lighter and I have more to give others in return.

I delegate and outsource tedious tasks to free my time to pursue what matters most to me. When I pursue my passions, I am happier and everyone around me is happier, too. The process of delegating and outsourcing tedious tasks allows me to regain hours of productivity each week.

Today, I dedicate a few minutes to myself. I choose to maintain both my physical and mental health. Indulging in a little "me" time is the best remedy to stress.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. Do I take on too much responsibility because I find it challenging to say "no?"
2. Is my work life invading my personal time?
3. Which responsibilities can I efficiently and economically delegate?
