Some people think that they’re so busy and exhausted that they have NO time to set aside for themselves. Others do take the time to relax and chill but have nagging feelings of guilt.
If you’re any of these people, stop. Just stop. It’s not an accident that you’re reading this. It’s a sign from the cosmos that you deserve that “me” time.
Unwind at the end of the day by reconnecting with yourself and finding your balance. “Me” time on the daily can be something as simple as putting up your feet at night, a cup of coffee in hand, with your favorite music playing in the background.
If you have a pet on your lap, then all the better. “Me” time on a weekly basis can be taking a long walk outdoors or treating yourself to a spa day.
