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!

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.
