Recently, I was asked, “What are you going to do for yourself this weekend?” I was lost for words. I left the question alone for a few days, knowing that if I didn’t think about it the answer would come.
Thank you to Cassie Parks, of Loving Yourself University, Twitter @spiraluptoday. You asked, and now I have an answer.
Doing something for yourself doesn’t have to involve something complicated. It really can boil down to taking care of yourself.
I carried around a small note pad this morning and wrote down everything that I did for myself:
- drinking water purposely for health
- taking multi-vitamins and supplements diligently
- downloaded e-books for relaxation time
- prayed and meditated (yes, you can do both)
- wrote (my form of self-expression, like a shot in the arm)
- took a walk (always a wonderful new weed/flower to check out)
- made personal perfume (plans for later today…I can make a product for me!)
See? I do things for myself. Little things add up.
Tag, you’re it. What are you going to do for yourself today?
Good question, Mary! I always try to do something for myself everyday. But lately I have had a hard time. Seems all those around me need a little of my time and there’s none left for me. ***sniff****
Becky, I cannot help but think, how do you block off time for you? But, you said they “need” time from you, not “want” time from you. Get some fun in there! I will check back in on you. :)
