How are "YOU" doing today?

Good question.  I am not sure.  When was the last time you asked yourself this question.  If your like me it's been a minute.  Think about it even if we take a moment to out of our busy day to drum up the nerve to ask ourselves the question.  How many times do you think you have actually waited for your souls response?
Honestly, how many times in the course of a day do we ask this question of other people?  You ask your co-workers, family members, hell we even ask strangers if we make eye contact with them.  Granted when we ask this question most of the time it is because it has become a habit to ask it.  It's become a way of greeting people.  We will ask that question and keep walking in the direction that we need to go.  Not even stopping or looking back to see if that person was going to respond.  If they did want to respond we surely don't give them the chance too.  Lets just keep it real most of us are so caught up in our own struggles that we really don't care how "you" are doing.  You could be telling us that your mom died, your aunts in the hospital, and your dog has pnuemonia.  In that order. :)
As the saying goes most of us treat other people better than we treat ourselves.  Based upon that assessment, how do you think we treat ourselves?  We don't even give "us" a chance to respond to the question because we don't even take the time to ask it.  Everyday we need to check, we need to know how we feel and what we need.  Just ask, wait for the response, and respond accordingly.  Thats a surefire way to show yourself how much you love yourself.
