Carole, this is so important to rejuvenating ourselves – and yet so easy to neglect. I am guilty! So, I’ll take this as a gentle reminder that I need to spend some more time on “me”. Thank you.

Hi Carole,

I think women, being the nurturing creatures they are, tend to get in the habit of putting themselves last – sometimes for many years!

It can be a hard thing to stop doing, especially if you’ve had children. My son is 26 now and living his life on his own, but I’m just now realizing that I’m still putting myself last. Gotta rectify that!

Thanks for the great article.

Cynthia

The best way to be productive for yourself (and to be able to help others) is to ensure that you give yourself the appropriate attention and reflection; even if it’s only 20 minutes a day. Truth is, you can’t help others without helping yourself first…

Hi Carole – it’s so true that we need to make sure we get our “me time,” even if we have to squeeze it into our busy schedules.

Great post Carole.

It’s often said “it is impossible to cut the tree when the saw is dull.”

Glad your enjoying your ‘me’ time and have a great weekend.
