Do you regularly release your negative emotions?
3644 A need is something we require FOR our well-being, like food, sunlight, contact with other humans; our needs should BE non-negotiable, things we can not do without. But sometimes we get SO wrapped up IN life, IN surviving, IN getting ahead, we lose sight OF these basic requirements. Don't let that happen! Healthy self-care begins with checking TO see if you are meeting your basic needs, AND then working TO fulfill them.
