This is why I am always reminding people of how important it is to take some time out for themselves each and every day, no matter how busy the day seems to be. If this sounds at all familiar to you, I'd like to remind you of three important things: 1.) Like attracts like, 2.) There are quick and easy ways to take time out for yourself, and 3.) If you're stressed, you won't be as helpful to others as you can be.
