Making Time

This week has only just begun and yet I feel like I've run a marathon already!! Ever feel that way? Life can sometimes get crazy and we find ourselves running in a million different directions, with not enough time in the day to accomplish all we set out to do.

I wonder, however, is it that we don't have enough time or is it the fact that we are being over ambitious in all we think we can accomplish in one day! Sure, we benefit from having high standards AND we need to be realistic and remember that we only have 24 hours in one day - some of which are supposed to be spent sleeping!!

24 hours. It seems like a lot .... yet, when you do take into account that part of that is for sleep, we then have to take a closer look at how we spend the rest of our day. And so today my DARE is to do just that. Reflect on all you do in a day and ask yourself whether you are incorporating time in for you. Are you ensuring you are practicing self-care? Do you give yourself permission to take time to just relax and re-charge? I know I'm not always great at that AND I know that if I take the time, I can do better.

So go on, today I truly DARE you to find time for you - yes, just for you!! No, it's not selfish, it's the gift that allows you to recharge and face whatever comes your way. Not only that, you're worth it and there really doesn't have to be a reason why you are taking 5 minutes just for yourself - you just need to do it!!
