If you’re one of those who skimps on rest and relaxation (and fun), to get more done. This is for you:
Stop it! Sit down! Shut up! Relax! Do something for YOU!
Having someone do something for you, as the foot massage in the picture is also an option. You’re not going to get more stuff done if you wear yourself out. It’s a Sunday for goodness’ sake! Take some time off already! Remember that list I asked you to make a while ago, with self-care stuff to do. Pick one of those items on that list and do it! I’m not accepting excuses today, do something for yourself, something that takes your mind off your to-do list.
This is the wrong day for me to read this – I’ve got company coming, my son’s first birthday party to plan, and a whole week of blog posts to get done in advance due to all of the above.
Or maybe it’s the perfect time to read this, now that I think about it. Thanks!
You need a break, and you can always find 5 minutes. What you’re able to get done in the same amount of time actually increases once you’ve hit pause for a little while 🙂 Good luck with the party
I so agree with you but I am not always so good about following this for myself and tonight is one of those times. I am heading off to France in the morning and I’m still doing work things and writing blog posts. In fact tomorrow’s post looks at similar issues to those you raise.
Take your shoes off on the plane and meditate 🙂
Thank you, Linda! I did just this today! I gave myself permission to take a nice long walk in the woods–something I love to do. Couldn’t find someone else to go with me, so I went out alone and communed with Nature. What a treat!
Good 🙂 Walking in the woods is lovely, and I think it’s even better to go alone.
I actually relaxed this weekend. My husband had to work, we had rain and I just stayed in bed with some ice cream and Netflix 🙂
Of course that means and extra 5 minutes on the treadmill but that’s okay 🙂
Ice cream and a movie can be just what you need some days 🙂
I didn’t take much time for me over the weekend. It was very busy with kid’s things. Maybe I will manage today.
Why not take 5 minutes right now?
