Thinking of yourself sounds selfish, right? But then you hear "if you don't take care of yourself first you won't be able to successfully care for any one else." Which is it? A little of both...yes, that word "balance." How to have a "balanced" life. We all struggle with it and what is "balanced" is different for everyone.
I just read this blog post about self-care vs. self-reflection. Self-care meaning taking care of oneself through perhaps "luxury" services...massage, mani/pedis. And, self-reflection meaning through meditation, yoga, etc. Do you take time for both? Or you don't find time for either? Time is really the key to both of them. Do you take the time for yourself...to improve yourself, to decompress, to simply relax? Taking time for oneself sounds selfish, right? So then, do you MAKE time for yourself? There's a difference there and the more you value your needs in order to become the best person, mom, daughter, sister, spouse, etc. the more you'll see greater satisfaction our of all the things you do.
So yes, make time for yourself and truly enjoy the time! The time to just "be"...be present in the moment, be mindful of where you are, and be grateful for (yes) the time. Many blessings to you this last week of March!!
