Savvy Toddler Mom

(Playing a little catch-up here, but I’m going to get my 12 things in by New Year’s!)

Me time… I love it, I want it… I hardly ever get it.  Oh, and when I do, I usually spend it cleaning the house, doing laundry, paying bills, etc.

What I’m talking about here is some serious “me time.”  What I want to do, not what I have to do.  Examples: reading, scrapbooking, photography, sewing, daydreaming, etc.  Things that fill the soul and give you time to think about who you are and what you want in life.  I don’t remember the last time I spent any significant amount of time doing any of those things.  Our time is so scarce — spread out over responsibilities with family, work, home, church — I think we lose sight of our “self.”

So, “me time.”  Starting with 15 minutes/day.  Every day.  Take 15 minutes and do what YOU want to do.  If you have longer than that, great.   If you don’t, start with 15 minutes and see if you can grow it.  15 minutes this week, 20 minutes next week, 25 the week after that.

Feed your soul.
