Life grabs a hold of us and just doesn’t seem to let go. We’re in a whirlpool made of schoolwork, our careers, babies, boyfriends, family and we’re girls. Somehow women have a way of making time for it all and forget to have “me” time, not realizing how essential having time for ourselves can be. We all wish we could be at every place at one time because we don’t want to miss anything. Sometimes we have to drop everything and just take a moment to get to know ourselves. Since we forget to care for ourselves it’s easy to lose touch with fashion, makeup, hobbies, what we like and what we don’t like. It’s important to know who we are as a person.
There are some of us who can’t seem to stay away from what needs our attention. OR it could be that we are so attached to our men, careers, family and friends that it’s hard to disconnect. Yes, everyone will miss you but just go M.I.A for a day. Tell your man that you need a day of pampering and even try to make him pay for it. He’s probably the reason you need a day to yourself anyway. Go get your nails done, hair done, go shop, or splurge on an item you’ve been eyeing. I would even suggest looking for something new to try like yoga, an African dance class, or a cooking class. Just something or someplace where you can focus on yourself.
Stress is even more of a reason to take a day off from everything. We shouldn’t let life take a toll on us, because it does get hard, and then it becomes unbearable. But by taking an occasional time out, you can avoid the feeling of an overload. As much as we’d all love to pretend to be Wonder Woman and possess her awesome outfit and accessories, unfortunately we’re not. We become tired and the days wear us out. So do something that will benefit your well-being.
