They say that people make time for the things they love, and I feel like that’s easier said than done. Between working full-time, having an active social life and dating life it’s getting harder and harder to make time for myself. And of course my constant need to be a people pleaser doesn’t help. I’m getting better at it, but I know that I have to make a conscious effort to set aside time to do more of the following:
Reading – I want to set aside more time to curl up on my couch and get lost in a good book. USA has a new show ‘Queen of the South‘ based off a book by the same name and I want to read that book. The show has sucked me in and I’m hoping the book is just as good. Plus there’s the last Robert Langdon book by Dan Brown that I want to re-read before the movie comes out this fall.
Self-Care – I mentioned the day spa in a previous post, and I intentionally try to go at least once a month. Carve out a few hours on a weekend and get pampered there either by myself or with my girls.
Meditation – Not just prayer. I do that daily, but I need to get back to the space in my life where I was making time for daily meditation. Time to just be in the presence of my savior and bask in His love. I have affirmations that I’ve gotten into a habit of just saying, but it’s time to revamp those.
Unplug – No phone, social media for a day. I feel like doing all of the things above would actually assist in this since I wouldn’t be using my phone during any of those activities.
What about y’all? What’s something in your lives that you want to make more time for? Comment below or message me and let me know.
