The Gift Of Taking – Magnificent Obsessions

The Gift Of Taking, Dr. Jill Kahn

The premise and truth here is that in order to lead an abundant and happy life it is essential that we each take care of ourselves first. So many of us are caught in the trap of giving endlessly and then we’re depleted, overwhelmed, and frustrated—and don’t know why. The key is to put ourselves first in our own lives so that we can care and function from the place of a well-tended mind, body, and spirit. I know about being overwhelmed and having Empty Well Syndrome all too well; this is a valuable read.
