Take Time for You

In this day and age we all know that the clock has in many ways replaced everyone personal religion, at least for most of the week. We rush and do for others. We stress and are always on the run. Many people have multiple phones one other devices just to help manage all of these demands on our time. But what dose that do for us? True we may land that client or contract we have been working for, but that is for your career, not you.

I say we each take a few moments a day and find time for our selves. Granted the idea of the Power Nap is passe, but we can not forget that our bodies are machines. If we do not take the time to care for them they will not be able to maintain optimum efficiency for long.

This said I know all of us would love to say that they have time, or self control enough to go to the gym and work out for an hour or two a day. We also would like to say that we eat nothing but healthy low fat foods. But lets face it, that is most likely not the case all the time. However there are ways you can at least take care of your Mind.

I find that there many ways that I find myself taking care of ME. For each person they are different. Some people enjoy a long Bubble Bath, or a rest in a rope hammock. I find that starting each morning before my husband wakes up doing a little crochet, or spinning is a good way to start my day. These activities are a form of meditation for me. Other mornings I wake just a few moments early and rather then having my hot chocolate (coffee is not for me) in a rush, I sit out on my porch swing. I find the act of sitting with my eyes closed and listening to the world wake up to be as good as any relaxation tape.

These are small things that I do for myself each day. They take no more then 10 mins, and start my day wonderfully. I challenge you to thing of something you can do, that makes you relax and not look at the clock or think of the problems of the day. Just think of the sounds of the area around you, the feel of the air, and smells. Each day find something new in your Observations that has no bearing on your schedule for the day, be it smells, sounds, feel, taste. Take that time for you and no one else.
