Since when is taking care of yourself a bad thing?

I am not sure why, but it seems that women (and occasionally men) feel as though taking care of themselves is selfish. When did we learn this?! Where is it written in stone that we should not take time to say: run a hot bath and soak, get a manicure/pedicure, buy ourselves that one things that we want (within reason, of course. lol) or even just relax? This is especially true of single parents. Not only do a lot of us feel like we are being selfish, but when we do give in to one of these things….. then we feel guilty!

Stop it! There is nothing wrong with being kind to yourself. We are taught in society to be kind to others, but we need to do the same for ourselves. How can we, as individuals, feel up to being kind to others when we are too frazzled from the everyday grind? We should all try to remember that we are important too.
