Extreme Self-Care also involves:

* Surrounding yourself with people who are only interested in a two-way relationship.
* Eliminating clutter from your life.
* Creating and maintaining a soul-nourishing work and home environment.
* Not making any commitments whatsoever out of guilt or obligation.
* Making pleasure a regular priority (ie, taking an afternoon break from work to take a short walk, enjoying a massage, listening to music, drinking your favorite tea, ordering fresh flowers for your office).

Your assignment for today is to take an action step in any of the above areas. You can do it!
