What ScorpioSun52 loves about this:

As written in my journal, I truly do not know how to take time out for myself. I know - from an intellectual standpoint - that this is important, but I often find myself unable to do this. I push and push until I can push no more. I am learning, however, that this is not a wise move for me in a variety of ways, and am interested in finding out how others manage to do this, how they do it, if they are able to finesse this well, and what kinds of suggestions do they have for me to right this self - wrong.

I just do. I know that sounds simplistic, and in a way it is. If I don't take care of me, there isn't anything left for anyone else. Throughout the day I pause, have a thought, take a short walk, hum a song, smile, give a compliment, whatever comes to mind at the ...

Wow... Such a simple (for me is not at all simplistic ) and nice way to be with yourself... The biggest truth are most of the time the simpliest. Love, Shine, be Peace-full

It hasn't always been as easy as it is now for me to take time out. What I've learned is that I have to create habits that are 'me time.' I go to the gym for me. When I'm there I'm completely in my mind and I get a lot of thinking done while workin...

While I cannot always find time for myself , it does happen . I believe it comes from the desire deep down in my innermost self that makes it possibly . I once asked a friend " How do you achieve meditation"? he said - "you just do it". I th...

I am so bad about putting things off. Like doing my meditation and yoga in the mornings. I will find fifty other things to do to waste time until it is too late and I need to go to work. I very seldom find time for me and it is no ones fault but my own. My kids are all gr...

One of my favorite things I feel is taking time for myself is working (I don't consider it work) in my garden. I listen to the birds singing, watch the hummingbirds feed and it fills me with an inner peace. I think of all different kinds of things while doing th...

For me it is not a measure I employ, it is who I am. I cannot be there for others unless I take care of myself first. It is just something that is done. When I am resting, I don't worry if others think I am lazy. When I am working, I don't ...

Hello i hope all is well or at least calmer this week. Another good thing is being physical: swimming, going to the gym, dancing, sitting in a jacuzi and singing ( if possible, without "freaking out" the general public at the local steam baths)... Exercising the body is a...

Hi ScorpioSun52 For me, weather-permitting -- brisk walkng outdoors, working in the garden and photography works as an antidote, while indoors -- reading a good magazine or book, cooking-up a delicious Indian meal or tending to my indoor plants are pleas...
