Why not start your morning with a daily dose of inspiration about self-care and happiness? Below, I have provided links to calendar creations from both Action for Happiness and the Greater Good Science Center. Also, I share some thoughts about the idea that self-care is selfish and indulgent. My thought, which would make a great T-shirt tag is this: "When you take care of yourself, you take care of the world!" It connects with a frame of the self and other as not being separate and independent objects, but as deeply connected wonderous being ("these are not two" from ???). As with all conversations, on the other side of the metaphorical fence, there is always a different perspective that can help us expand our limited two-eye-balled way of seeing things. #ExploreExpandBecome

A parting quote and article for food for thought about self-care at Left Brain Buddha: "Self-care is never a selfish act - it is simply good stewardship of the only gift I have, the gift I was put on the earth to offer others. Any time we can listen to true self and give the care it requires, we do it not only for ourselves, but for the many others whose lives we touch." Parker Palmer. This quote is contained in an article from Sarah Rudell Beach called, "10 Mindful Ways to Take Care of Yourself, So You Can Care for the World."

Just another tip of the iceberg conversation that I hope generates some constructive discussions about self-care. Thank-you for being open to my initial meandering thoughts. Peace, be well, take care and share!!!
