So many of us make everything else a priority in our lives and we still put our own needs on the back burner.

In this hurry up society we forget to stop and think about ourselves. We can even sit down and watch tv but we can’t stop long enough to menu plan or to go for a walk around the block. Hmmmm.

It’s not that we don’t actually have the time (even though time is a stretched and we do know that), but it’s how we priortize it and our place in it that matters. We MUST make our own needs one of those priorities, just like a job or taking care of our kids or our families. We MUST spend those few minutes each week to plan menus and write grocery lists and make up healthy snacks and meal plans if we want to develop good habits to last us long term.
