What do you do for “Me Time”?

The bible is clear about the need to take time for ourselves, time to rest and recharge.

“Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.” – 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 NIV

God created a Sabbath for a purpose – to rest!

The Morning Thing shared 20 great ideas for “Me Time”.  Cyndi Barber is a writer for imom.com
Cyndi said that she learned that spending time on herself was an investment in her future self and the overall health of her family. It opened her up to greater creativity, productivity, and concentration. It balanced out the selflessness that being a mother required. Me time helped Cyndi to be a better parent because it regenerated energy levels and the ability to fully engage and connect with her family.

Would you like to have a more balanced life?

Most of us would answer YES to this question.
January is “Get a balanced Life” Month. Today, The Morning Thing shared some incredible insight on this topic from imom.com

Janelle shared 3 work/life tips that actually work! She said that she learned a lesson the hard way from a coworker’s note that she left for her on her desk one day. It had just four words — “Leave some for home.”  (ouch) Click HERE to read Janelle’s 3 tips.

Dana Hall McCain also shared an article about balance. She says that having it all, and having it stress-free is just not reality.  Reducing the sense of conflict may depend more on accepting and making peace with the realities of two-career families (or working single-parent families) than on striving to juggle it all seamlessly. Dana shared 4 Myths of Work-Life Balance. Click HERE to gain more insight.

The pace of life can make every day seem like a blur of going here, going there, and trying to get a million things done in the time you do have. Lauren Dungy shares on imom.com that we all need to really think about what’s most important to our family.
