Quote

We devote so much time to others that we don ‘t believe we have the time or energy to nurture our own needs. We feel guilty taking care of ourselves—we feel we are being selfish. I think many of us also see needing to nurture ourselves as a sign of weakness. If we are to nurture others successfully over the long term, we need to nurture ourselves. Investing time and energy in self-care gives us a wide and deep foundation for all we do for other people.
