Taking time out for my self
Today I learned the importance of giving your self time to reflect. I am a homemaker and I don't take breaks like I used to when I worked. It has back fired because I keep burning my self out and not being able to get my chores done. I have scheduled breaks to take some time for me now.
I think that's an excellent strategy. I work from home and have lots of free time at home too. It so important to take regular breaks and just do something for yourself. We can't give to others or take care of them if were burned out. Plus it's just plain healthy for yourself.
i like to follow a schedule including breaks. It's really beneficial for me to get out and walk. Even if it's for 15 minutes or down to the bodega for a snack or to do light shopping. Get some fresh air and see people. Keeps my spirits up.
So important to remember ourselves first or we can't take care of others.
