#11 Never taking a sick day.
This is one of my personal demons, one that I'm struggling with today. I am very quick to keep my kids home if they feel a little down, but I could have pneumonia, or be anticipating surgery, and I won't cancel a thing. It's very easy to feel like you need to keep going no matter what, but you'll be healthier in the long run if you take it easy when your body lets you know it's time. The world will not end if you let the kids watch movies and nap on the sofa for a day.
