Self
Why save the most important for last? If your self-care is lacking, nothing can replace it. So many still follow a self-neglectful or self-berating pattern. Take the time to practice internal messages that console, talking back and taking a stand against your internal critic. Life is tough enough; shame, blame and harshness do not add anything to just taking responsibility, which can be empowering if done in a caring, loving way. Just because we talk about "self" doesn't mean we have to do it alone. Support groups, therapy or a good program team can help.
