“ME” Monday™ 3-2-2020
Do you wait until you can’t move a muscle before you take time for yourself?
If you were to suddenly find yourself exhausted, feeling like your unable focus, what is one thing you could do to take a break?
After another busy week and working into the weekend, I found myself suddenly ‘out of steam’ by noon! No matter how many things I still had on my “to do” list, nothing further was going to be done. All I had energy for was to lie down and sleep for a bit. This used to happen to me more often; however, since I have implemented regular intervals of self-care, this occurrence was unusual, yet a good reminder not to fall off track. Though I often take small breaks to rest my body, I sometimes forget the importance of taking a ‘brain break’.
Have you or someone you know ever experienced this?
Often, we may focus on exercise regimens, healthy eating plans, and our physical well-being. Exercising, as well as, resting our brain is also significant to acknowledge and is a beneficial, healthy practice for our mental well-being.
Recently, I tried adding regular short “brain breaks into each day playing my favorite spa music while sitting relaxed with closed eyes. It is a wonderful mental escape to wherever possibility dares to take me. When the timer I set goes off, it may be time to come back to the present but the brief escape helps me smile with satisfaction that I am taking some time for myself.
If this idea sounds interesting to you, I invite you to try it. Creating ways to organize some “ME” time, whether is it for physical activity or a ‘brain break’ can be a powerful way to maintain both your physical and mental well-being.
It’s “ME” Monday™! Please send a message with your creative, self-care activities and/or share your thoughts.
Have you met the best version of yourself yet? Who would you see?
This is your now!
