Bev reminded me that not every topic in the book will apply to every person.

Order take out, or hold your own film festival.  Do something just for you.  Say &#8220;NO&#8221; to the next person who asks you to do that one more thing that will send you over the edge.  While this is an awesome thing, to take time for yourself when you are stressed to recoup and gather yourself, I think it needs some improvement.<\/p>\n<p>Frankly, I think waiting until you are at that breaking point to do something just for you, is too late.\u00a0 Again, this is another instance where FLYlady dovetails with SA.\u00a0 FLYlady&#8217;s right hand woman Kelly issues weekly &#8220;Pamper Me&#8221; challenges.\u00a0 Marla constatly teaches us that <strong><em>we are worth it<\/em><\/strong>.
