This week we are setting you a Daily Challenge – to spend ½ hour every day doing something you enjoy and which relaxes you.
Schedule it in if you need to and add it to your To Do list. Just make sure you do something that isn’t about the home, the business or your family – just about YOU.
After a week or so, compare how you feel on the days you DO get some me-time and the days when you don’t.
Andf if you’re so out of the habit that you’re stuck for ideas, here are a few to get you started:
- Sit and have a cuppa in the garden
- Take a Power Nap
- Walk round the block
- Read a chapter of book or magazine
- Take a bath/shower in peace
- Put on a face mask & put your feet up
- Start writing a diary
- Get crafty and do some sewing, knitting, card-making etc
- Give yourself a pedicure
- Buy a favourite Box Set and watch one episode per day
And if you need permission to snatch these 30 minutes every day, tell your family that Sam & Helen told you you must!
Yea… I needed the suggestions. I freaked out a little when reading “isn’t about the home, the business or your family”
Will give it a go… Not easy when it’s half term though :-S
Great, I’m bang up for this. So easy to get wrapped up in everything and everyone and I really think it will help the whole family see how much I do. Each day I am going to be selfish and not feel guilty for making someone else wait even if it for 20 minutes! Thank you for making time out for me!
Hello Ladies!
My business is all about making space for ‘me’ time. So many of us spend our lives on PC’s and/or mobiles and don’t get the chance to be creative and produce something tangible. So we set up ‘The Make Space’ to encourage like-minded people to get together, to create something and to make new friends; whilst learning new skills. If this sounds interesting please get in touch!
As I’m sat here with lists all around, this is a great idea. I haven’t been running for a few weeks, which is me time, but other than that I’ve been poor recently. Maybe that’s why I’m feeling low.
Top of my list now is “Me”! And I’m not going to feel guilty about it! Thanks
