Steve D Valentine delivers a short, first-person reflection on personal development and self-care, arguing that caring for one’s body and brain is essential to being the best version of oneself for business and clients. He describes self-care as a catalyst ("part of my insulin") that improves speed and performance, warns against sacrificing these routines when stressed, and recommends intentional rest (e.g., letting the brain rest after busy periods) to return refreshed and more effective.

If we're not taking ourselves in that capacity, we're not feeding our brains, we're not feeding our body. We're not the best version of ourselves, which means we're not the best version for our business or for our clients right at the end of the day. And so those are the things that took me a long time to understand and realize. Like, that's part of my insulin that makes me a better person. It makes me click faster, it makes me operate better, is making sure that those things. And a lot of times what we do when we get busy or stressed out, we ixnay those things first and replace it with work. And what we need is more of that and less of the work, because you'll be more active in it and faster. And so, you know, I look at that and some changes that, you know, that I've even made is looking at muns, and I'm like, I would get up there after a Friday like this. I'm like, I have so much that I gotta do. And I finally realized I'm like, you know what? I need to let my brain rest so I can come back to the notes and then fire.
