Our thought process is that if we don’t take care of ourselves, we can’t successfully take care of others.

Please note: this rarely has to come in to play. When my baby cries in the morning I (of course) go to her before I eat breakfast or get myself ready. Her survival needs come first. But if Eric is really stressed, I will recommend that he get out on a bike ride before he spends the rest of the night with me. I know that his mind is in a better place when he’s taken care of himself (quiet time, eating right, exercise) before giving of himself to me or Rooney.
