 How to Take Time for Yourself
How to Take Time for Yourself It's not always easy to set aside "me" time, particularly if you're used to always giving. But here are some tips that can help: 1. Look at "me time" as a priority. Schedule it into your day like you do eating, sleeping, and working.
2. Make a list of various things you'd enjoy doing during "your" time and refer to it whenever you have a free moment.
3. Trim your schedule of activities you don't find fulfilling, along with people who drain your energy. Use the time you'd spend on them for yourself.
4. Realize you don't have to be perfect.
If you've been spending loads of time preparing elaborate dinner parties or baking for your son's school bake sale, relax. Order a pizza next time you have friends over, and pick up some cookies from a local bakery for your son. Voila! Instant "me" time.
5. Make it a routine.
It takes about three to six weeks to make something a habit, so commit to your scheduled "me" time for that long, and it should become second nature.
6. Release.
Anytime you're feeling overwhelmed or tempted to over-commit yourself,
release those feelings using The Sedona Method. "As you do take time for yourself, you find the time actually expands. Even when you're engaged in other actions that may not appear to be for you, you'll find your efficiency level going up dramatically because you have taken a timeout. By the way, one of the best ways to take a time out is to spend some time releasing."
