So, In the last day or so I have had time to think about where to be begin. It is hard not to feel guilty for choosing family over friends or vice versa. Hopefully in the end everyone in my life will feel equally important in their own ways. So even though I was a daughter and sister first, I have decided to focus on my home, On being the best mother and wife, correction, wife and mother that I can be. As a mother I feel like we instinctively feel that our children are our priority. It is hard not to cater to them first and let our husbands fend for themselves. I corrected the order because in my research, whether right or wrong, it seems right to me that I should make my husband top priority. By making my husband's happiness priority this in turn will make a happy marriage, will set the tone for our household and trickle down to our children. I have selected 10 steps out of the many that I came across, as the ones I feel are most important for me to work on.

- Take care of yourself
