The Importance of Self-Rjuvenation: A Little Me Time

Many of us rue the end of Summer. Children go back to school, which means schedules become hectic and time is once again, of the essence. Mornings are harried and evenings tend to be a bit more stressed than we’d like.

During the transition from Summer to Fall, we women tend to get caught up in taking care of everyone else, and our own health and wellness is put on hold. Even the rejuvenation of what I like to call our “emotional buckets”. Each day we are given a certain amount of emotional energy to start the day. During the day it ekes out to care for children, bosses, medical appointments, and just the chaos of daily life.

If we don’t take the time to step back from the chaos, even a few minutes each day, and rejuvenate that emotional energy, we soon run out. We crash. We get cranky and short tempered; often hearing words being spat from our mouths without liking them.

Every woman deserves a little “me time.” Carve out a few minutes each day to catch up with friends, paint your nails, go for a jog, or even meditate or exercise. That small moment can refill your emotional bucket and ready you for the evenings’ madness.
