Treat yourself like someone you are responsible for helping §

For some profound reasons, psychological and philosophical, humans aren’t good at taking care of themselves. We would forget to take a pill even if that pill will keep us alive. Specially when the consequences of not taking care of ourselves are not immediately evident.

However we are very good at taking care of those around us. We wouldn’t forget for the world to give a pill to our dog or cat.

So, rather that looking at ourselves as, well ourselves, we should look at ourselves as someone we are responsible for taking care of.

Why would you think it acceptable to do anything less for yourself?
