Taking Time for yourself. A New Day!

Sometimes, you just say how do I do it? This is one of those times in my life. I need to be somewhere else helping others and not able to keep up my own world. I still say, one day at a time. This too shall pass. So how do we take time for ourselves?

When life gets overwhelming. Just stop and breathe, take a minute or two for yourself. This is what I suggest to my clients. I find it hard sometimes to do for myself. So this is my reminder. A note to self. Sit down and contemplate, what is your need to accomplish? What are the goals of the day?

I myself have to stop and reorganize and stay focused on what kind of day I am going to create. Some days go so quickly and things are not in our control. Do what you can, do not try to control things that are just going to make you more upset that you can't.

This past month has had some major effects on me do to ill elderly in laws. So taking time out to care for them it's taking a toll on my life lately. I am learning a lesson here. It isn't always easy to take that time out for yourself. In order to help them I need to make sure I am well enough myself.

I have decided that taking time a few minutes daily to do my meditation and be more organized to fit my WA program in best I can. I enjoy this so much. The community here is kind and caring too. So through some organizing and some support, I will be fine. Just as we all get through major crisis situations.

Organization is key to anything. So here I go, as Im sure all of you are doing at some point. Fitting it all in. Making it work. When you don't have the choice, you just get in and do it and create a organized daily list to keep you on track if you need too. Remember take time for yourself, as your helping others.
