The problem in today’s economy is that people are typically starting a family at the very time they are also supposed to be doing their best work. They are trying to be productive at some of the most stressful times of their lives. What if companies took this unhappy collision of life events seriously? They could offer Gottman’s intervention as a benefit for every newly married, or newly pregnant, employee. John Medina
About This Quote

This quote is one of my favorites. I am sure it will resonate with everyone. We are so busy trying to be productive, especially during times of great stress, that we often forget to take time for ourselves. Often times the most important person in our lives is the one who needs us most.

The more time you spend with yourself, the more time you have to be there for your family or your job. Even if you are on your honeymoon, take some time for yourself. Look around and soak up the beauty of your surroundings.

Spend time on your hobbies, on your favorite form of exercise or whatever brings you joy. Don’t forget to make time for yourself and be there for you no matter what happens.
