With all the chaos and busyness going on around us, we often forget that we need to take time for ourselves.

It’s not selfish to take “me” time. It’s rejuvenating for your soul/spirit/inner light/whatever-you-call-it. We weren’t meant to spend all day everyday burning ourselves out. It’s bad for us.

Take whatever time you can to relax. Smell a flower. Watch a bird. Listen to the waves. Bask in the sun. Meditate. Or do whatever it is that you do. Just find time each day to do it.

For me, it’s painting. I can’t do it every day, so I also take time to watch birds at the feeders in my front yard, or I watch my fish in the tanks in my living room and just be.

What do you do to relax/be/enjoy me time?
