My friend and fellow Toastmaster Pamela Elaine made me promise to be more authentic to myself. Spending time with Pam, I learned that being selfish isn’t always a bad thing. In fact being selfish is a good thing because it helps to recharge your batteries and allows you to give back to your self and your family.
Pamela has been on the Dr Oz show to discuss bouncing back from divorce as well as leading the to help women regain their inner strength.
Her latest project is a short film for women to work through the grief of divorce.

Great post and video. I agree it really is important that we take care of ourselves and it is totally ok to be selfish when it comes to this. If we don’t, then we become unhappy, unhealthy selves and no one wants to be around us anyways. LOL

As women we tend to give and give and give without nourishing ourselves. Like you said being selfish for can be a good thing especially when it comes to self care.
Thanks, Rivka! I have to remind myself daily to take care of me. I need to find a picture of an oxygen mask to remind myself to take care of me first.
