Me-Time Must

No Backlash Or Guilt

· Living Well Blog,Personal Care,Lifestyle

The hectic pace of everyone's everyday often leaves no time for anything but obligations. It's a ditch we've all fallen into. And, we're here to encourage you to take some me-time, & take care of yourself. To perceive self-care as a must & not an option. Because we know if you don't, you'll not only hinder your own health & happiness, but most likely cause upending in your entourage too!

We have covered the elements of personal care often, & we'll continue, especially when we still have followers & clients who say they can't take time for themselves. We know it's a non-negotiable element in creating & sustaining a healthier-happier lifestyle.

So we keep looking for ways to help inspire you to do just that-take care of yourself!

Last Tuesday we launched or Good-For-You Sends. The first, I had designed for a client who just needed a few good tips to keep her week on track. This week, Patrick has designed a Personal Permission Slip to offer clients, so they remember to take a breather & include 45-60 minute of me-time, without the backlash or the guilt!

He said it's the number one frustration he encounters with clients, especially women with families.

Like much of what we have discovered & shared that works, this is just another small tip you can use to remind yourself to take care. Print it & keep it in your wallet, or post it on the fridge. And, let everyone in your immediate entourage know that you take it seriously, & they should too.

The last line is my favorite & you can share it with your loved ones as you're heading out for your me-time: Just tell them: "I'll be back soon-better than ever!"

And it's the truth. 45-60 minutes undisturbed. In your garden puttering. Journaling your thoughts & dreams. Using the Calm app to meditate a bit. Going for a walk with your dog. Quiet kitchen prep time with your favorite music playing in the background. The key is that being undisturbed is non-negotiable. Obviously, not if there's an emergency. But, otherwise-be gone!

We'll be sending out a brief video with a full-sized Personal Permission Slip on Tuesday, for our next Good-For-You Sends. We know that often, just a little something can ring a bell, & reset your intention for the moment. It's why we work so hard to discover, design & share all the easy, fun tips & tools you can use to keep living well everyday!

TakeAway Tip: There is a big difference between self-absorption & self-awareness.

Keep an eye out for when you might need some me-time.

You know when you're frazzled, so take at least 30 minutes to soothe yourself without feeling guilty!
