Today my counselor and I talked about ways I nurture myself. And as we discussed the variety of ways I realized how grateful I am for the things I do that nurture me. They will be different than what nurtures you. We have a few of the same but overall what we do to take care of ourselves and who we are will differ because we are all so unique. For example, as we discussed I realized that something I do that actually nurtures me is doing my job well. When I can knock out a bunch of tasks and relieve my boss of some things on his plate then I feel like I have done something to take care of myself. That may sound crazy to you but to this chick who is Type A, wired for admin, and is task-oriented it is a form of nurturing to be able to do that. Other things that nurture me are my slippers, jasmine green tea, reading, watching Friends. And I'm grateful for the ways in which I am able to take care of myself so that I can take care of others. How about you? What nurturing do you practice so you are taken care of?

Read a Road Map Day One of the many reasons I would stink at The Amazing Race is because I never did learn how to read a road map well. I remember doing worksheets and class lessons on maps and I was able to skate by ...
