We've all been there, drowning in the daily grind, muttering the words "I don't have time" like a mantra. And yes, I get it; life can get crazy busy. But here's a reality check: in the midst of the chaos, we've got to make time for ourselves. It's not just a luxury; it's a necessity.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: when our own cup isn't full, how on earth can we help fill someone else's?
Feeling overwhelmed? Let's get practical.
Take a few minutes to look at your day. Maybe scribble it down in the evening or jot it on your phone with your morning coffee.
Now, ask yourself: can I squeeze in 5 minutes just for me? Could it stretch to 10 if I get a bit creative?
If you can manage 5 or 10 minutes, awesome!
Now, what to do with this precious time?
Skip the scrolling, the TV, and the chatter. Instead, take a brisk walk, stretch out those muscles, or sit quietly and breathe. Ever tried journaling? It's a game-changer. Use this time for whatever makes you feel good.
Try it for five days. See how those mini-breaks affect your mood, your stress levels, your overall well-being.
Feeling brave? Amp it up; add two 5-10 minute breaks each day.
No need for magic potions or meditation mantras here – just a few moments of intentional self-care.
And if you need support on this journey, you know where to find me.
Take care,
Eden xx
