Everyday (well almost), I go to a quiet room in the house, drop the blind, pop in the CD and I close my eyes. As I begin with the deep breathing exercises I'm able to clear out the mental chatter better and better all the time. It's not like I've hit guru status or anything, but it sure is nice to take that half hour out for myself.
Yesterday I had 2 lovely ladies in the art studio. Both powerful energy forces... the kind of energy that fills a big room and you can't help but be attracted to them. One of them made a comment that will stay with me forever. (As a teacher I always learn so much from my students!) This fit, trim, successful and energetic lady said, in passing... "I just don't understand how people say they have no time for self care."
Whoa! She didn't say people don't have time...she said that they say they don't have time. We're precious and we matter. I say I have time for self care because it's no longer negotiable. I only have this one shot in this human form on this planet and I'd better be the best that I can be.
So there's time for me to meditate, to exercise a bit and to make my meals from scratch. No one on Facebook is going to miss me if I don't show up every day.
What about you? Where in your day can you carve out time for some much needed self-care?
