Again, it s more important to care myself before coming into the practice, so that I am able to care the others. I strongly believe pharmacists play an important role in guiding patient's self-care behaviors, because self-care involves a variety of actions that patients take to manage their health. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 says, "Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies." This Bible verse reinforces that we are responsible to take good care and treat ourselves with ultimate value.
