I totally understand how your feel about coming home to chaos! Continue to find time to take for yourself. Don’t let arriving home take away your joy. You know what to expect. This is what I do…when I come home…I go straight to my bedroom and relax for another 20 mins to an hour before cleaning up after everyone. And I make them help me!!! I am a superwoman and mom but I need the superkid and superdad to help too!

I think all women, especially mother’s, struggle with guilt about putting themselves first. I know it’s a constant battle for me that leaves me looking like a mix between Osama Bin Laden and Don King with the bushy eyebrows and bad hair to prove it. I recently went on a trip to Vegas with my BF to enjoy the SITScation bloggin conference (and the Justin Timberlake concert, woot!) and it was the best thing I’ve done for myself since my first child leaped from my uterus nearly 8 years ago. I told myself I was gonna dedicate more time to myself because I felt so much better while I was there, but when I came home to a dirty house, dirty kids, and dirty looks (from my children, not even my husband) my resolve to focus on myself was shaken. Now that I’ve been back a while I’m convinced that it needs to happen again ASAP! Thanks for your inspiring words!

Happy SITS Sharefest!

LOVE THIS:
“Don’t let another day go by without at least giving yourself time to energize or regroup. A restful mind is a productive mind. Don’t let the curtain close on your day before you have had the chance to give to yourself.”

It is so easy to forget…I am going to put that on my frig!

I loved this post so much. I work out daily but I recently decided that everyday at the end of my workout I am going to do some breathing excersises to calm me down and get centered and ready to start my day…oh and I made a vision board filled with goals and my fave motivating words to look at everyday. I know how cheezy am I right lol!

Wow, I really needed to hear that. I had a Early birthday party this weekend, and it made me realize a lot of things. How I am always giving and doing my all for everyone and when the shoe is on the other foot, I get a bunch of excuses. I am going to learn to put me first. Some family members said that I don’t have my priorities in order because I had a party. That is something I wanted to do for myself. Well my point is that I am going to start living for me, doing more for Lisa. Thanks you always bring on the right things at the right time.

I will try your advice also Kenitha, sounds like a good plan. I will keep you posted. Thanks again.

Always on time!

That was well put sista. I’ve learned a long time ago that life goes on, with or without you. Why should I stress myself out and make myself sick trying to make everyone else happy, when in the end, I’m not? I truely believe that there’s not time like me time. Try it at least once or twice a week. You will feel so much better, inside and out.
