Altruistic August Day 1 Set an ambition to be kind to yourself and/or others this month. Notwithstanding that I think there is no such thing as altruism. There is nothing selfless or disinterested in having concern for others. In truth we know that helping others gives the helper a huge boost (hence why it's one of the 5 things to do for good mental health). That's not to decry it. It's great to look out for others but altruism suggests that the carer gets nothing from it and that's simply not true. Anyway, notwithstanding all that. I've decided to try and be kind to ME this month. I'm back working my full hours, the guest house is full which means lots of cleaning and laundry, the garden is growing like Topsy so requires a lot of input and suddenly all my time is gone. I was shattered tonight after mowing all the lawns and didn't get out for a run so I've signed up for a challenge this month. I'm having an early night and I'm going to make time for me, at least 3 times a week, to do a c25k session, starting tomorrow.
