"I'll take care of me for you… If you'll take care of you for me!"
I first heard this years ago, I don't even remember where, it has stuck with me for well over a decade. Being in the business of health, I am sometimes reminded how this saying is paramount to the success of happy relationships, happy people and happy bodies. But even being surrounded by a culture of wellness, I sometimes forget what it really means. I am thankful to have someone in my life who reminds me.
It is easy to forget the affect that our actions on ourselves have on those we love. When we feel pain, our loved ones feel pain, when we are irritable, our loved ones become irritable. When we "let ourselves go", our loved one pick us up and try to carry the pieces. Our pain and health are not our own, we share this with our families, spouses and children. Every decision I make about my health will affect my husband in some capacity. When you truly love someone it makes logical sense to dedicate time to yourself in order to be as healthy as possible, for as long as possible, so that they do not need to take care of you (less some tragedy).
Sometimes taking care of yourself is the hardest thing to do. We deem it less important then other tasks on the to do list. Many times we fall on the bottom of the list, maybe thinking others are more important. But in reality, the more we do the things we know are "healthy" and "good" for our minds, bodies and soul, the more we are "doing" for others.
I have so many examples of how this lesson continues to scream at me as the years go on, here is one. Indirectly, this topic is a reoccurring "discussion" in our home. Scenario goes like this; I will get so busy that I leave things around the house, thus it becomes a mess, I stop taking the time to eat all my meals, prep day goes unprepared, coffee replaces water, irritability replaces kindness, lawn gets over grown, fish oil goes un-taken, yoga clothing becomes the only wardrobe I wear, our dog goes un-walked, sleep becomes a treasured commodity and so on… As I said earlier, our pain is our loved ones pain, so my actions create a messy house to live in, an irritable wife to be with, and a host of other chain reactions, some of which we can't even measure. This clearly affects my family on many levels. (Obviously, a family shares some of these tasks, I am simply taking the responsibility for my portion)
Now, I also mentioned that I am lucky enough to have someone in my life that cares enough to remind me when I fall into this trap. I meant that sincerely. A life time of taking yourself for granted, is not a healthy life. In my opinion, it is also a selfish one. I see taking care of ones health to be an act of selflessness, a social responsibility. It is taking the trouble to care, so that down the road someone else doesn't have to and you do not become a burden on society and family, harsh I know.
So… I'll take care of me for you… If you'll take care of you for me.
