As part of growing, learning, self-motivation, developing your self-respect is ensuring that you periodically take some time for yourself.
This is not the “me time” for a mani-pedi or to see how many margaritas you can throw back in an hour then sleep half of the next day away. That is NOT taking time for yourself,, that is cheating yourself.
Take the time for yourself and use it to rest, relax, recover, recuperate, reflect, refine and re-adjust your course. We all get off course but with taking the time to work on getting back on course then and only then are we growing because we are getting to know true inner self and not that jumbo-jumbo we tell people when we say things like “you don’t know me” or “you don’t decide for me” and while the answer may be TRUE, have you truthfully (without pulling any punches) ever asked and answered those questions about yourself? Probably not.
That’s OK most people never do because they would rather put up a front than to go boldly forward in life without having to prove anything to anyone.
So make the time and get to know yourself. I mean really get to know who you are, who you become and what makes you tick and why!
REMEMBER: ACTION is ALWAYS greater than WORDS
Get to work,
