Taking time for ourselves is often something we put on the back burner after everything else is accomplished. The thing is, we never finish all those things we want/need to do, so time for us rarely happens unless we plan for it.
Friday was just such a day I had planned for me! It started as most days do, with a trip to the gym, something I love. Then if was off to a massage. This was not just any massage though, today I was trying something new, an ayurvedic massage. I went to the Ayurvedic Bodywork Center in Raleigh and experienced a wonderful treatment by Gin Brunssen.
This was different than any massage I have experience in the past. It was deeper, warmer and energizing at the same time as calming. The residual effects lasted throughout the rest of my day, bringing me a sense of well being physically and mentally as I enjoyed the rest of my “time for me” day.
What did I do with the rest of my day? I spent time reading, enjoyed healthy meals and worked on my creative space. What a great time I had!
When is the last time you took a day for yourself? What would you choose to do with it?
Hi Stefanie!
What a great posting. Going for a long jog when the sun is shining, taking in all that great Vitamin D, is something I have done lately that was a definite reward!
I have been exploring taking time for me lately as well and wanted you to know how much I appreciated your help and encouragement in my life!
Hi Erin,
It’s so great to hear from you! Thanks for sharing what you do to take time for yourself!!
