As you walk through your day today, notice the sounds that might otherwise go unnoticed. To be silent requires the complete absence of all sound. Consider if and when you are ever actually in silence.
If you are giving to others when your virtual tank or bank is empty, you aren't going to be of much service.

Whenever you feel that taking care of yourself or making time for yourself is selfish, think twice. Remember this: The heart pumps blood to itself first before the other organs of the body. Similarly, you need to consider yourself before you can truly help or give to others.
More often than not, just considering a few things youโre grateful for can shift your mood and thinking away from being stressed or stuck in the negative to a less stressed and more positive outlook.
Experiences, people, thoughts, emotions โฆ they are all temporary. All things come and go, just as all guests who enter your house will leave. They can be welcomed, learned from, and then bade a fond (or not so fond) farewell as they go.
Skills for Staying Positive and Living Your Best Life is an excellent resource for teachers, guidance counselors, parents, and therapists.
