It's time to stop fooling ourselves as self-care is an option. We need to take really good care of ourselves during the good times. So when bad shit happens, we have the strength and reserve to handle it.

Notice, I didn't say if bad shit happens. I said, when bad shit happens, because bad shit, it happens to all of us, our parents die. We lose our jobs. Our businesses fail, our partner leaves unexpectedly, or our kids get sick and end up in the hospital. The bad shit list goes on and on. And it's just a matter of time before our bad shit happens and we're called on to handle it.

Are you ready to handle it when that happens or are you currently running on fumes and praying that nothing bad happens?
