We all take care of business: work, family, home, pets, bills… and if we stop for a second we may realize that what we call our business is often everybody else’s business.
When was the last time you really took care of your own business? I mean something that comes from YOU, not your partner, your boss, your children, your neighbor, your friends, your in-laws… and that you do for YOU. When was the last time you actually took time for YOU?
Minding your own business doesn’t mean being selfish and forgetting about your responsibilities, no. It means “caring for your best asset”, YOURSELF. And caring about it NOT tomorrow, NOT when I’ll have time, NOT just after I finished that project or that next load of laundry. It means HERE, NOW, and REGULARLY.
Give yourself the time and space TODAY to discover what YOU NEED, PLAN it and DO it. As simple as that!
Your assignment:
As you finish reading this newsletter, right now, take 20 minutes just for you breathe deeply and (without judging) do something for you: walking, sleeping, singing, stretching, dancing, reading, having a coffee, breathing, making Pilates, putting on make up or body lotion….
Whatever it is, do it for yourself and do it 100%, be HERE and NOW, savor it, and don’t allow anything to get in the way whether physically or mentally.
Reconnect with yourself, listen to the wisdom inside. In the
same way as Mother Theresa said “We need to find God, and He cannot be found in noise and restlessness.” There are more subtle part in you that can be found in noise and restlessness.
If you really can’t do it right now, take an appointment with yourself and make sure you don’t miss it!
At the end of the 20 minutes make an appointment for another session tomorrow. You can even plan for a longer session, how about 40 minutes next time?!
Trust me, not only you’ll feel better, you will also get better at handling everything else.
Be your own person and live the life you really want.
