The title itself speaks volume. I have recently been reading a lot about self-care and how important it is. I’ve always talked to others about self-care, but simply neglected to take my own advice sometimes. If you haven’t visited the blog WhatCherithinks (https://whatcherithinks.com), you are missing out on a treat. Recently, she has focused a lot on her series of self-care. I say all this to ultimately get to an important part of self-care and this is taking care of your body.

I recently went in for a routine appointment with my physician, and the message l left with was simply what I needed. My doctor asked me about my religious beliefs (this was just to confirm before he made his next statement). After confirming he stated, God says your body is a temple and you need to treat it as such! All I could do was agree. There are so many things we have to do to treat our bodies as temples and from that my journey begins. Previously I started strong trying to live a healthier lifestyle. I then began to slack up. This was confirmation that I have work to do. I’m so excited to get back on this journey because I can’t destroy this temple that has been created. There is a lot of work to be done, but I have to realize that I want to be around to see my son grow up and so that means I have to take care of me! It is not selfish to take care of yourself. It is selfish to not take care of yourself. I’m motivated and I hope you are as well.
