Everyone I know seems to get busier and busier.
They look at my life and wonder how I can accomplish so much and always have time to play and relax.
There are two important things that I incorporate into my life.
Boundaries and self care.
The boundaries are very helpful in carrying out the things I want to focus on and making sure I don’t spend my time getting caught up in things that don’t serve those focuses whether they be recreational or business.
The self care is extremely important in giving me energy and a reserve of energy and fulfillment in my life so I can handle the rough patches and the exhilarating challenges without stress and frustration.
I have five daily habits that I incorporate into my schedule that allow me to give myself extreme self care and I make them a priority.
- Walking my two dogs for a long walk first thing every morning and each afternoon
- Taking 5 to 10 minutes a day just to sit and think about not much in particular but be open to what comes up
- I spend an hour a day reading either for pleasure or for life long learning
- I put my full attention on what ever I am doing and do my best at it, this gives me great satisfaction even if the task I am performing is routine or boring
- I look at the stars for a few minutes every night before I go to bed
What kinds of things can you do for self care this week that you can turn into daily habits that will help you create a reserve of energy and help you stay focused when things get stressful?
I would love to have you share some of your ideas in the comments section.
