When You’re Taking Care Of Yourself, Your Life Is Great

You are taking care of yourself when –

1. You are clear about what you believe in and can act from your belief system.
2. You are in touch with your feelings. Living life, not enduring it is your motto.
3. You are not obsessive, only doing more when it’s necessary.
4. You live actively and responsively, not reactively.
5. You trust your intuition because you believe in who you are.
6. You are open to your partner’s opinions but they do not define you.
7. You are optimistic and make things happen in your life. You are proactive.
8. You are excited about your projects.
9. You have high standards and are accountable for your actions. You do not make exceptions for your partner for “stuff” that you would not tolerate in anyone else.

17. You live a life that has ups and down, but is not one of one crisis after another.
18. You decide how long you want to be committed in any relationship in your life.
19. You can have a private life, have your own secrets without being clandestine or dishonest.
