Someone very close to me is losing her husband to a terminal illness. Making things more complex, they have young children. So my friend is working like a superhero, trying to keep everything together. And doing an amazing job for everyone.
Except herself.
It’s an easy trap to fall into. And one you have to avoid like poison. Because it is poison…
My friend loves to read. But she hasn’t picked up a book in months. In fact, she hasn’t done anything for her own state of mind in months. Because she is so busy taking care of everyone else.
But of course she needs to take care of herself first, if she wants to help anyone. Just like you have to take care of yourself first…
So are you doing that?

Very true
Yes, and the 1st step in taking care of yourself is reading the book by Doctor Greger – “How Not to Die”.
Sometimes yes, mostly no.
