Wooosaaah…. Part 3



3. How then, can you think creatively to make 10 minutes count? Recognize your needs. Sometimes we have been so busy caring for others that we forget that we are individuals with needs like everyone else. Allow yourself permission to need. The idea of needing people or support can be seen as weak. Not so! When you are aware of your needs and know how to identify resources and healthy steps to fulfill those needs, your support seeking is a great example of strength and resolve. Be consistent. Taking the time to care for yourself one week and not the next is not helpful. Rather, it demonstrates how you devalue yourself, (others will take their cues from you). Setting aside a "protected time" not only gives you something to look forward to, it also lets those in your life know that they will have to "fend for themselves." Finally, and most importantly Select something that is enjoyable for you, not what others find enjoyable. Here again, self defining success, or happiness, or sadness are entirely subjective experiences. Creating your "happy place" is a single serve meal. It is a place where there is just enough for you and you only share it if you really want to.
