Sometimes when I am alone in my room in the dark, I practice smiling to myself. I do this to be kind to myself, to take good care of myself, to love myself. I know that if I cannot take care of myself, I cannot take care of anyone else.
I spend a lot of nights thinking
How did I make it this far?
I spend money every chance I get

If I don't take care of myself
Then how am I supposed to grow?

I work three months really hard, nonstop, and then I take a month off. Then I do it all over again. I work hard but I give myself four breaks a year.
If I come to work every day and do my job, work as hard as I can, be a great teammate, the rest of that stuff will take care of itself.
If I don't take care of myself and be kind to myself, then I can't take care of anyone else.
You've gotta do things that make you happy. As women, we tend to give away a lot. We take care of a lot of people, and we can't forget to take care of ourselves.
