One simple way of defining an “adult” is “one who acts as his or her own mother and father”.  According to that definition how are you living as an “adult” right now in your life?  Do you ensure that you eat food that is good for you?  Do you make sure you get enough sleep?  Do you tell yourself: “Enough is enough!  Turn off the television and get some fresh air!”

 

Once we grow up, it is our responsibility to take initiative in our own self-care.  No one is going to do that for us.  No one else is going to make our doctor’s appointments.  No one else is going to schedule for our teeth to get cleaned.  Start being a good parent to yourself today.  Start caring for your body, mind, and soul the way you would imagine a wonderful parent would.  You’ll be glad you did.
