Thou shalt not be perfect, nor
even try.
Thou shalt not try to be all things to all people.
Thou shalt leave things undone that ought to be done.
Thou shalt not spread thyself too thin.
Thou shalt learn to say no.
Thou shalt schedule time for thy self and thy supportive network.
Thou shalt switch off and do nothing regularly.
Thou shalt be boring, inelegant, untidy and unattractive at
times.
Thou shalt not even feel guilty.
ESPECIALLY THY SHALT NOT BE THINE OWN WORST ENEMY, BUT BE THY
BEST FRIEND.
