289a Make Yourself A Priority : Motivated and Dedicated

Make Yourself A Priority

Women tend to put ourselves on the back burner (I put myself in this category from time to time).  We address the needs of others before taking care of ourselves.  As I often tell my female clients, “if we do not take care of ourselves, no one else will”.  Our family circle cannot exist in a positive way if we don’t treat ourselves well.  We can address the needs of our families better when we are healthy (both mentally and physically).  I don’t mean to sound vain or selfish but to some degree if we don’t take a selfish attitude, we are doing more harm than good to ourselves and everyone else around us.  Think about it, when you work out, go for a walk, pamper yourself, etc. you feel so much better and are able to take on the world or at the very least, be a good mother, a good wife, etc.

When adopting this newfound attitude or way of life, you will see so many positive changes.  You can start small.  For example, take 10-30 minutes a day to meditate, stretch or something as simple as going for a walk.  If you have little ones at home, try to schedule their nap time at the same time and you can go into the next room and do the above.  Engaging in some type of physical activity will give you more energy throughout your busy day.    

When possible, try to schedule even more time during your day, what I like to call “me time” or “rejuvenation time”.  If all you have time for is 10-20 minutes in the morning or mid-afternoon, then try to take an additional 10-20 minutes in the afternoon or evening.  I guarantee that you will feel like a new woman.  You will feel great about yourself, you will have more patience and your family will reap the benefits.  It is a win-win situation all around.  Go ahead and treat yourself.  “Make yourself a priority”. :-)
