One of the foundational principles of being an upside thinker is to put your health first, family second, and work third. As we approach the holidays and everyone’s schedule seems that much tighter, I’d like to remind you of the importance of self.

Taking care of your self is about properly meeting your basic needs. Are you taking care of your body inside and out? Are you getting enough sleep, drinking enough water, eating well (which includes taking the time to feed your body, not force-feed yourself in marathon pace and preparing your food with care), and are you getting adequate exercise? And, more importantly, are you doing all of this without taking a guilt trip?

Being an upside thinker means caring for your self because YOU are your most cherished possession.
