As parents, we often put everything and everyone else’s priorities above our own. Our ‘to-do’ list grows daily and anything personal on that list either perpetually moves down or falls off all together never to be seen again.
It is extremely important to remember to make some time for yourself – a little bit each day or maybe once or twice per week. Do something that is just for you – whether it be pampering, reading, taking a walk, taking a nap, listening to your favorite music, connecting with special friends, etc.
If you are not taking care of yourself – physically, emotionally, etc., then the people you love will suffer as will your business.
We all need to be in top form if we want to maximize what we do for our families and businesses.
Right now – take a few minutes and look at your schedule (yes, you should have one and that’s another post entirely that is coming soon) and block out some time for YOU!
Here’s to a happier, healthier, more productive YOU!
