We all like a bit of pampering now and again, but when do you fit it in?
It's very hard when your a working mum etc. Here at positive change we would all like a bit more me time to go to the spa, get a massage or even just do something for ourselves instead of others for a change. i think this is true for almost everyone.
When was the last time you put you first for a change?
Does putting your own needs before others make you selfish?
Do you feel guilty when you put your own needs first?
The truth is sometimes you have to give yourself a break and take time for you to move forward in your life. When we do things out of obligation, 'I have to or something terrible will happen . . ', we do it begrudgingly and not in a willing state of mind which makes it a chore. When we do things because we choose to, in willingness, tasks seem to be easier. Sometimes just taking 5 minutes me time can put you in a willing state of mind and choose to complete tasks for others rather than feeling beholden to others. Sometimes is it is ok to say NO I am busy right now, but I can help you when I'm finished!
I decided yesterday to not take part in the challenge today and use my spare time to do something I wanted to do because blogging was becoming a chore. Ironically enough I used my free me time to resurrect my old personal blog and also give my lonely tea cup's the make over I promised them! And guess what the world didn't end! I even looked at todays #bedm challenge through fresh eyes and completed it out of choice instead of through obligation. Gooooo me!
If you would like to take a gander at my personal blog post today 'homes wanted for lonely tea cups' feel free :)
