In 2008 I bought Cheryl Richardson’s book Take Time For Your Life for $1 from a used book dealer at a local farmer’s market.  Coincidence?  I don’t think so.  At that point in my life it was the perfect book for me and I devoured it.  She teaches all about taking care of yourself, or as she calls it the art of Extreme Self-Care.  I also have a special place in my heart for her because she is the Life Coach who introduced me to the idea of Life Coaching through this book.  I was visiting her blog a few weeks ago and she posted these tips which I want to share with you.
