Take Care of Yourself First

 
The days feel like they are shorter
     and we seem to be even busier
Constantly running from place to place
Moving from one task to another
     without having time to pause
And before we know it
     another day goes away

This ceaseless cycle can easily lead into a burnout
     Spinning out of control and into a precipice
And once at the bottom
Only then do we reflect
     Asking “how did I get here?”

We should look inward now
     And start taking care of ourselves first
Body and mind
     And this will steer us to a stronger heart and soul
Re-energize and re-fuel
    Re-discovering what drives your passion
Because in the endless hustle and bustle of a busy life
    Taking care of yourself first is not selfish
It is a necessity
Which can give you inner peace
