When we do not prioritize our own self-care because we are busy serving others, our energy is not replenished. Instead, we are exhausted, and our ability to be there for anyone or anything else is compromised. The more energy you give to caring for yourself, the more energy you have for everything else.
Brody goes on to report her own observation, that people who make physical activity a priority don’t necessarily have more time than others. Rather, they make sure to schedule time for it because they know it enhances their performance and the quality of their daily lives.
Segar suggests viewing physical activity as a power source for everything else you want to accomplish.
