5 Ways to Get That "Me Time"A little over 17 years ago I made a series of mistakes in my life that caused me a sentence of about 11+ years of penance. During this time, I developed a very unhealthy habit of putting just about everything before my well being. I wanted so hard to prove myself to someone who would forever see that mistake.
At some point I opened my eyes to realize that I would forever be defined by that mistake to that person. I also realized that I was worth more than being treated like I would constantly make that mistake again. So I transformed into someone who put herself and needs before anything else. Guess what? Too much of that isn’t really good either. So where’s the middle ground? Where’s the happy median? Here’s where it gets interesting so pay attention…. Why is Carving Out Me Time Important? In order to achieve homeostasis between selflessness and selfishness we have to get disciplined in creating borders and limitations on when to put yourself first. Too much time focusing on your happiness does not allow for other areas in your life to flourish. You become neglectful in your responsibilities as an adult. Your relationships with people that you love suffer. You may even become wreckless in spending and you become financially unstable.

This in turns creates a rippling effect on everything you do. From lack of energy to tackle those tasks you wanted to tackle to emotional exhaustion… the effects are limitless. How to Carve Out Me Time. Take a few minutes to….
The cold hard fact: You can’t always put yourself first. If you put your happiness first, you do not allow space for others to make you happy. By carving out guilt free time for yourself and for others, you can begin to enjoy less stress in your life.
