Harbinger suggests that prioritizing health, both emotional and physical, is crucial, and it requires implementing systems that support healthy habits, even in busy lifestyles 2.

It's got to be still self-care because I feel like we neglect a lot of this stuff, and this is going to be emotional self-care this time.

Outside Influence

Rather than trying to fight that outside influence, you should actually use it to your advantage.
