You matter because people depend on you as a muse, mentor, parent, or friend. Eating well isn't selfish; it's how you keep the knowledge and skills others need from you intact.

You matter because people depend on you as a muse, mentor, parent, or friend. Eating well isn't selfish; it's how you keep the knowledge and skills others need from you intact.
Here's why you need to take some steps and take care of your food that goes into your mouth. It's because you matter. And the reason you matter is that there's somebody in this world that listens only to you. You are their muse and their mentor. You might be their mama. You might be their best friend. Maybe you're the mama of my kid's best friend and my kid tells you things they don't tell me. You are in some specific role in life where you are absolutely uniquely necessary. So if for no other reason than the people around you, take care of yourself. Self-care doesn't have to be about being self-centered. It's about making sure that your particular knowledge and skills and experience are able to be shared with other people.
