Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

Handle with care. Handle with care. Handle with care. We see this expression, don't we sometimes

around things that are kind of precious or special. Maybe you're at the airport and a suitcase says

handle with care or a box or maybe, I was actually at a buckwrat store not long ago and

everything said handle with care, handle with care, handle with care, because it's crystal

and it's beautiful and it requires a soft touch. It requires our respect and our reverence.

And I would like to pose this question for you today about you. Are you handling yourself with care? How are you treating yourself?

Are you treating yourself like a luxury item or are you treating yourself like a bargain bin item that requires no care,

no specialness, no love, no affection, no gentleness at all? I mean, think about it. The most

I'd have like a bruise on my hip or have a bruise on my knee or even on a Pilates machine. I'd make the transition so quickly, I wouldn't care.

I would just, I'd bump myself and go, oh, whatever. And I thought, what's the rush? What am I

rushing for? It's interesting, if you listen to yesterday's episode, how much the ego wants to be

quick, wants to be in control, wants things to happen now. My friends, I've been more conscious in just

treating myself with care. My friend Terry Cole, an incredible therapist, she said that she made

the decision years ago. She's never going to rush. She's like, I hate rushing. I hate it when

someone's saying, come on, hurry up, let's go. We're behind. La, la, la, la. And I thought,
