Tuesday Tip

Me Time
It's so important to make time for yourself. No matter if you go out to work stay at home, run a business, the time comes when you really have to focus on yourself and your well being.
Perhaps you're a care giver and it's all you've ever wanted to be, helping others is so rewarding to you that you don't consider it to be work. You're raising a family and you love them deeply, why should that be considered work? Whatever it may be, you still need time for yourself.
I'm a fine one to talk, some weeks that's all it is, talk. I know that I should maybe go in to the garden after work, we have a life size 5 yearish Tibetan Monk statue, Tao. I should sit next to him for just ten minutes, take some deep breaths and just unwind. Me time.
If you're one of those super efficient people who only work to the clock, ink in an appointment with yourself and stick to it. You wouldn't cancell a meeting over something trivial like a burst water main or a collapsed ceiling so why cancel one with yourself?
I think for some the biggest hurdle is to get rid of that pesky feeling of guilt. "I should be doing this or that". You're not going to cause the earth to stop spinning if you take a break, just do it.
