With all due respect to Jackie DeShannon, I think another thing that the world needs more of is self-care. Not everybody mind you; people are way too self-indulgent. But the truth is, in this society too many of us live to work and work to live. We get so hung up on work, that we forget what we’re working for.
Over the last few years, I’ve tried to make a concerted effort to practice more self-care. I’m trying to take better care of myself, physically. I’m going to the gym, trying to lose a little weight. I’m eating incrementally better than I normally do.
But a lot of times when I think of self-care, I think I’ve just doing things for yourself; that is, doing things simply for sheer pleasure. I’ve read before about how trying to make a point of visiting more of the major league baseball stadiums. I visited one new one ready this season in Atlanta and a few weeks. I will be going down to Cincinnati.
No, getting on the road to go to baseball games isn’t the same as going on a cruise or going to Europe. But that is my idea of self-care. That is something I do for my entertainment, for my pleasure. It gives me a chance to reset my proverbial batteries.
