In Part One I talked about the mental breaks that make you whole. If one doesn’t take care of themselves spiritually, mentally, and physically then possibly you will be forced to have someone take care of you. You only have one life to live and you need to live it unapologetically, you need to live it whole and complete, and you need to live it emotionally attached.

Have you ever started a project or made plans to do something but couldn’t finish if you wanted to? If you’re honest we all have! That was me. I knew my purpose and my meaning, but I was mentally exhausted. For the last four or five months I haven’t written any blogs, finished any manuscripts, nor have I uploaded or done any videos.

My friend and I were having our weekly chat and she said to me “I’m tired and I feel stuck and burned-out. I have been married for ten years with two kids and it’s all about them but never about me. I cook, clean, pick up, drop off, and our vacations consist of the whole family. I need some quality time for myself”! She said, “I don’t know what it really means to take care of me.

Today was a great day after all I went through! I knew that I had a long day ahead of me as I was preparing to travel. I grabbed my suitcase and hurried out the door running late but I made it to the airport in time. There was no fear in sight but change happened quickly.
