That's cos I decided a few years ago to not work on Mondays and so it feels like my week is much shorter when it starts on a Tuesday hehe. You're a step ahead of me in that you actually take that time out for yourself whereas I'm attached to my laptop! I'm going to change that though. You've got me VERY curious and excited to hear more about your story - how did you finally let in all the goodies and what was your life like before? LOVE real life examples on this blog so please, please share what's amazing about your life, if you're comfortable doing so. Looking forward to knowing you better and thanks again for your fabulous energy that's shining through your words!

I just found your blog today and how appropriate to find the Time-out post! :) Thanks for the reminder for all of us: how we always look at how far we have to go instead of looking at how far we've come! That's very profound! I have my "me" day on Friday. I call Friday my favorite day of the week and I don't schedule anything. There is the occasional thing I *must*do, but for the most part, I just let the day take me where it will. Sometimes I spend a lot of tmie reading - all kinds of things, depending on my mood. Or, I might sit outside on the patio - getting some sun and fresh air is heavenly. It also gives me time to watch our puppy playing. I have recently relearned the same lesson - that everything I need is within me. I know I've talked about it lots of times becase I became *aware* of it a few yeares ago, but I didn't really become AWARE that I do HAVE everything I need, untl recently. I am living the life of my dreams - I created this life and it's AMAZING!! When we realize that we don't have to go looking for it, we just need to accept it and when we do, the doors and windows of opportunity fling open! I'm so grateful for my discovery today! Hi Tia!

If we all did 5 things a 1000 times over, it would be more effective than 5000 things once over (just read that on someone's blog today - can't remember who but crediting him anyways) Your priority is always a priority sweetheart! Trust that this time is nourishment for your soul, not a "like to" but a "must have". Do what you have to to take that time out. I suspect the work lies in believing that you deserve that time, in embracing it as a birthright (rather than actually finding the time). It's a mindset that's for sure. Drive by fear usually. Fear of "everything will collapse if I take time off" or "I'll be wasting my time when I could be doing a,b,c instead". Nah. It really came home to me that everything that happens externally flows from an internal place. For my world to be as I want it, I have to create from within. From this perspective, time for me isn't a luxury anymore, it's a necessity. Start with that day and be careful not to "try to do it all". The time is for you to be. Let the action flow from that place of being... so much easier and more fruitful :) Yay for you! Berta, looks like that age old trap we fall into – of equating busy-ness with productivity.

Glad you enjoyed it (confession: i've seen it 3 times and cried every time). Tell you what, although I suffer from "productivity-ism" sometimes, for the most part am I ever glad that following my feel good takes # 1 place over making myself do things I don't love! And taking time out, that decision was SUPER easy for me albeit a bit anxious about being "out of touch". That feeling didn't last long at all. My focus will now be on doing something consciously for myself everyday. I LOVE the big downtime blocks of time too, though.. “It’s not the power of the curse . . . it’s the power you give the curse.” We give the meaning to everything in life <----------------- :) I know, right!? Always a pleasure to see you here Carol, thank you for the wonderful words, I'm still smiling at how good they make me feel. I appreciate you xoxo It’s such a powerful movie, ay Carol!
