You First

Taking care of yourself by putting yourself first isn’t selfish—it’s a necessity. Being good to yourself means you are able to be of value to those around you. Work goes more smoothly; you’re able to enjoy your home and personal life to a greater degree and if you’re called upon to help friends or family members, you will be up to the task—but only if you take care of you first.

For most people, “me first” doesn’t come naturally. It’s an important life skill that needs to be developed. This issue of Your Source can help you get started with information, tools and resources on such topics as:

  • Ways to develop your work strengths
  • How you can make the most of your personal life
  • Why you should have a ‘self-investment’ plan
