It is amazing how much you can love your family, want to be with your kids and at the same time just crave some time alone. I have noticed lately that come Sunday morning, all I want is time for myself, to do what I have been putting off all week and to do it in silence. Don't get me wrong, I love having my loving fiance and his kids around, but sometimes I just need me time. So I have come up with little times during the week that respectfully belong to me. For instance, while I am cooking dinner, I am generally left alone. While I'm in the kitchen baking, I get to keep my piece of mind. My time while doing yoga before bed is strictly me time and every once in a while Sunday mornings the house is empty and I get to clear my head.
Why is this important? Because I would probably go crazy. I don't have any one constantly questioning me, and I can get more accomplished with no one else home than if I were moving around several bodies. I think that it is important for everyone, for their own health and sanity, to take a break and breath. Do something for yourself once in a while. Shut off your phone, close the computer, and make time for yourself. It makes me feel a better sense of self and a little more self worth afterwards, which is something I severly lack after a week of sensless work and busy go go go all the time.
