Today's Affirmation

 

"No matter how busy my day is, I will make time for myself."

 

All day, every day, we give to others.  We give to our families, we give to our job, we give, give, give.  But when do we give to ourselves? 

 

Each and every day we need to make a point to take, even for a few minutes, time for ourselves.  I can hear you now, "Are you kidding?  I don't have time to take time for myself!  When am I supposed to find the time for that?"

 

The answer is if you want time for yourself, to reground, center, balance yourself, if you want time to take a breath, calm down, or sit in silence without anyone bothering you, then you MUST make time for yourself.

 

It is not necessary to take a whole hour at one time if you don't have a whole hour, what about just taking 10  minutes? or 5 minutes?  At your job, if you get a scheduled break, go out to your car, sit for a few moments, breathe, slow your thinking, say a prayer, or just sit there quietly with your eyes closed.  At home, take a hot shower or a bath and put a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door, or instead of having to cook dinner, everybody gets eggs or cereal or order out a pizza.

 

It is time to begin, a minute at a time if you have to, to take care of yourself.  If you don't, who will?  Your colleagues?  Your boss?  Your spouse?  Your children?  No, You have to take care of yourself!

 

Give yourself permission.  A few minutes at a time throughout the day will do you wonders.  Trust me.

 

In Light and Love-Always,
