There are a ton of things that demand our time and attention day in and day out. Jobs, the daily grind of household chores, taking care of your family, making sure the kids' homework is done, getting the kids to soccer practice or dance lessons, paying bills. It's a vicious cycle that can leave you feeling stressed and exhausted at the end of the day.
Most of us don't think to take care of ourselves. We are more concerned with taking care of our family or those around us first and foremost, with our own needs often coming last.
