Jan Hornford
It often seems that our days are engulfed in a myriad of tasks. Now we have many a responsibilities and many a roles - spouse, parent, sibling, child, friend, and career worker. Do you find you lose yourself in your relationships, in your nurturing roles, and in the action of life? Makes it seem like your life has become a series of tasks to complete, rather than moments to enjoy? We often get so caught up in the DOING that we forget to BE.
Usually the 1st thing to go in this windstorm
of work is time for ourselves. Lack of time for ourselves often leads to feeling frustrated, tired, engulfed and out of balance. Without this time for self, we lose sight of what's important to us and of what we need to be our best.
If you are feeling like life is out of control, that you are undervalued, that you are too busy, or if you put the necessarily of others systematically
before your own, then it is time to create several time and space for yourself. Taking time for yourself allows you to renew, heal, and create reserves of energy and peace. Abidance yourself enables you to learn your truth, access your ability and experience a sense of peace, wholeness, purpose, and balance.
Taking time for yourself is actually just about Self-Care and is an extremely important component to creating the life you want. It is just about abidance yourself and connecting with yourself. Taking care of yourself is one of the 1st steps on the journey of discovering your truth and accessing your creativity. Once
you take time for yourself it allows you to finish doing for for a while
and to just BE. It is in the Being wherever
your power lies. You mechanically
raise your standards and capabilities and create potential and possibility in your life. Once
you honour and nurture yourself you can hear your inner voice more much clearly - you can hear your own truth and this connection enables you to live authentically.
In order to do time for yourself consider the following. Write the answers down on a piece of paper or in your journal or notebook.
Coaching Questions
* How could it be a gift to others to take time for yourself?
* What would-be it take to do time for yourself a priority?
* What activities bring you joy or nurture you?
* What is keeping you from doing the things that energise and inspire you?
* How can you bring more of these simple treats into your day?
Take Action
Commit to doing one work from the list you created each day for the next week.
Each day take 5 minutes for yourself. Find a quiet place wherever
you can sit and not be disturbed. Close your eyes and just follow the path of your breath. Simply focus on your breath. If different thoughts move in, just let them go. If you find this difficult at first, then focus on continuance the affirmation "I am happy and peaceful". Quieting your mind and body and focusing on the breath wish help to change your emotional state and provide your soul with a peaceful respite from the action of your day.
Time for yourself makes not have to take half a day or move at being else's expense. In fact, taking the time to fill and nurture yourself wish give you more energy and you wish be better able to keep those you love. It is often the simple things that can do the biggest difference. For example, sitting in your favourite chair and sipping a cup of tea, going for a walk, or listening to your favourite music. I encourage you to carve out 15 minutes for yourself each day to do thing
that nurtures you and brings you joy. Try it as an experiment for one week and see what changes for you. Reclaim your Self! Once
