Sunday Sunshine: Make Time for You


As caring human beings, we tend to nurture those around us. As employees, employers, parents, partners and adult children squeezed into the sandwich generation, we focus our attentions on others' needs. 

Sometimes, the well from which you draw that energy feels pretty dry, doesn't it?

How much time do you spend caring for yourself? 

Now, don't feel guilty. Don't think of it as being selfish. Think of it as being self-love and maybe even self-preservation.

Carve out some time each day -- no matter how short -- to do something just for you. 

Maybe it's time for a walk, a cup of coffee, a good read or listening to some music.

That precious time spent nurturing yourself is a necessity for a quality, joyful life. When your energy well is filled, you will be in a better place to serve those you care about.

Today, this week: Make time for you. It's an investment well worth your while.

Fresh Thoughts for Your Monday: Take Care of You

Life gets so busy. We feel we have to move faster. We feel we have to do more in the time we have. We feel we have to move in multiple directions at once. We’re called to take care of others—our families, our work. Everyone and everything are tugging at our time, energy and attention.

What results is multitasking, which is really just another way of saying that you’re doing too much and not giving your full attention to any of it.

Stop! It’s time to stop that unhealthy cycle. It’s time to take care of you.

Today, trust in yourself to adopt the practices that will make you feel whole, calm and filled with good energy.

How do you do that? Make yourself a priority. Make time to relax. Make time to exercise. Make time to eat well. Make time to do just one thing at a time. Make time to simply be. Make time to refill your energy well.


Take care of you. Make time.
