The best way to be your best self for others is to give yourself room to breathe.
As a proud introvert, I've come to cherish the moments I pull myself from the action and find some quiet. These are the moments that recharge me - that fuel my soul to once again face the chaos around me with patience and grace.
Sometimes, we need to be reminded to be selfish - maybe it's time to take back that word and turn it from something negative into something life-giving. YOUR CHALLENGE for the month of June is to find those little spaces where you can reconnect with yourself - every single day - and then share that here to perhaps inspire someone else to accept that it really is okay to make yourself a priority!

Thanks for the chance 😊
ReplyDeleteGood luck :)
DeleteThis is a good idea. Taking time for myself helps me remember that I really and truly adore my husband and children.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I really want to win, which is weird because I don't even like tea. I do like Lindor's though, perhaps that is my motivation.
Ha! Distance (tor time alone) does make the heart grow stronger ;)
DeleteAnd I happen to know that your husband likes tea - so if you win, chocolate for you and tea for him!
I stay in bed for just a few minutes longer...
ReplyDeleteMe too! Any chance I get!
DeleteSometimes I need to take a moment just to get my thoughts together
ReplyDeleteOh, me too!
DeleteI did today! I took an hour out and attended hot yoga class early in the AM.
ReplyDeleteToday I baked myself some lemon muffins ...yum!

I read your blog posts sometimes in my stolen moments... ;) is that sucking up? LOL
ReplyDeleteYes - it's totally sucking up BUT I'll totally take it ;)
DeleteWith a wilder mind, a stolen moment for me is pausing for a second alone with my thoughts. I am notorious for daydreaming at my desk!
ReplyDeleteOh, me too...or doing dishes...or folding laundry...or working...basically I'm always daydreaming ;)
DeleteTaking a moment for myself is important because it enables me to set aside the daily stressors for a while and just focus on ME.
ReplyDeleteI got up a little early and had a cup of coffee all by myself.
ReplyDeleteSometimes it helps to have a few minutes to myself to get everything in perspective.
ReplyDeleteI went and had a pedicure
ReplyDeleteA rainy day sometimes slows life down a little and today the boys all slowed enough to have a rest. I took advantage of that time to relax with a tea and one of my favorite British dramas.
ReplyDeleteYou need it for your sanity and peace of mind.
