Do You Put "Me Time" Into Your Day?

We all do too much, taking care of family, bosses and friends and relegate ourselves to last on our list. Well, you've heard that a lot, right? But the question is, what are you doing to change it? 

If you're anything like me, even with the best intentions I forget time for me and my mind, body and soul pay the price. For example, at the end of the day when my feet start hurting and my neck is bent out of shape, I remember that I took no time out.

What are your favorite moments of pleasure?

I luxuriate by taking a hot bath in the evening with great smelling oils. In the morning, at 6am, I walk out of my building to the health club and start my day with fifteen minutes of water aerobics.There is a glass bubble enclosing the pool so I see the stars as I do laps.

I recently got back from a week's vacation. I had a hard time deciding to go --you know the resistance that comes up when you are about to do something that's super good for yourself.

For 6 days, I was part of a community of women who had come together to exercise, share good conversation and eat healthy food. What a perfect way to start a new year. The trick is to now integrate a little ME TIME, everyday.

Can we make a commitment together to carve out some time just for us, each day?  If I start forgetting, please point that out.  And I will keep reminding you and myself that it's a necessity to put self-care first.
