If I am going to love and care for others then the first thing I need to consider is how I can love and care for myself. It should be first on my to do list and my primary point of focus. To do this I have to work on both my physical and mental well being.
In terms of physical health, there are things I need to continue to work on. Keeping up my weekly yoga class, adding some regular yoga practice at home and maintaining a regular walking routine. I’d also like to add some weight training to strengthen muscles I need for balance and bones.
To maintain my mental well being I will continue doing the things that give me pleasure. I also have to allow time for relaxation and meditation. Adding to this I must ensure I have regular consultations with my mental health team of GP, psychologist and psychiatrist.
All of this adds up to respecting myself first, then I can respect others.
