Give yourself some time...

Nowadays, many of us have utterly busy lives. Sometimes so much so that we lose ourselves, forget what free time is, lose sight of what gives us the feeling of fulfilment, happiness, peace, energy... a place for oneself. And let's be honest... it is generally not so well accepted to make it for yourself either, especially as women. We are busy with work, that is what we should be... with the family, that is what we should be... with the everyday life puzzle, because that is what we should do and so on...

All this can make us forget what makes us happy, what we truly believe in and what kind of life we really want to live. We might find ourselves making up excuses, justifying our choices of self neglect so we don't have to face any of it. Because if we do, we know we are going to face our selves, face the truth around us, make changes, make ourselves and also people around us uncomfortable. We might need to constantly give explanations and face people's confusions and confrontations.

Yeah... that sounds tiring and exhausting. But can't you see the wins if you do? If so... start giving yourself some time.

We need to stop glorifying business and unselfishness.

It is almost as if the busiest you are the more important you are. To whom?

It is almost as the more you neglect yourself for others, the more kind you appear as a person.

Slow down. Breathe.

Recovery, regeneration, healing and reflecting are important in order to grow and progress.

Stop and take time for yourself. You don't have to be there and take care of everybody all the time. Take care of you first, then take care of others.

There is a reason why we need to put the oxygen mask on ourselves first, during low cabin pressure on a flight, then help the others. Because if we can't breath, how could we help the person next to us?

You are still a good parent, sister, brother, wife, husband, friend, colleague, even if you take some time to take care of you, just you for a minute...

Love,

S&W
