Wisdom Wednesday: Finding time for myself

During this busy month, I am focusing on finding whatever time I can for myself. That means through the rush of running the Foggy Frog Kickstarter campaign, celebrating multiple birthdays in the family, attending multiple specialists appointments and hopefully attempting a very part time return to work, I’m also trying to find time to take regular rest breaks, meditate, maintain my yoga and walk routines, have relaxing baths, read a book and spend time with my husband.

These activities are important for maintaining my mental and spiritual health. Between each activity that I do I am going to find at least 10 minutes for me, to do something that relaxes and refreshes me for the next activity to come.

Wish me luck in my endeavours to maintain a balance between activity and rest, between Needs and Desires, and between helping others and looking after myself. It will be a challenge, but it is one that I accept and will fight to achieve as it is one that will mean the difference between a complete crash and a maintained or improved health at the end of March.

How do you make time for yourself?

What activities do you enjoy doing in that time?
