"Me Time"

Making Time for Yourself a Priority

Quote About the Joy of Solitude - Quote About Being Alone - Oprah Winfrey Quote. (n.d.). 

I know you have all felt as though you are being pulling in 1000 directions a day. Life is busy and you question if your sanity is intact daily. I assure you, you are not alone. Every day we wake up a mother/father, wife/husband, friend, business man/lady the list goes on. There are so many roles that must be filled on a daily basis, it can become overwhelming. This is why It is extremely important we don’t forget to give ourselves a little bit of time daily (if we get lucky), or at least once or twice weekly to recharge.

Cardiologist and author, Marianne Legato says, "If you never have any time except reactive time -- things you must do for others -- you don't have a sense of control. You are interrupted all the time. Your brain has trouble resting even during sleep. Such chronic exhaustion increases the release of stress hormones, and your blood sugar rises. If this is your normal state, then the physical consequences increase your risk of diabetes, heart disease, and memory problems."

Go enjoy some GUILT FREE alone time, you deserve it!
