Lush Bath Bomb and Tokyo Milk soap: Me Time
Sometimes making time for ourselves seems like the last thing on our to do lists.
If you, like me are often rushing around juggling lots of different jobs, roles and chores, by the time you sit down in the evening you are too tired to do anything else. When I first became self-employed I worked very hard to fill up my newly clear timetable and at first it was hard to find things to do. But back then I did not consider that I still needed to make a little ‘me-time’ to relax – I just worked and worked and I think I went a little bit crazy! Eventually when things started to pick up and the seeds I had sown during those first months were turning into little seedlings, I realised that I was getting tired again and needed to put time aside just for myself to unwind. Living with a chronic condition means that I am constantly reminded (by my body) when to slow down, but I also slot my ‘me time’ into my working day, so I don’t just relax at crisis points anymore.
One of my favourite things to do is have a soak in the bath, which is brilliant for my arthritis, as long as the bath is not too hot and I don’t stay in for too long. Fifteen minutes usually works for me. My favourite products are Lush Bubble Bars (I usually break them in half as it seems too wasteful to use a whole one for a short bath) and Kniepp herbal treatments. It is the perfect treat for me and gives me time to zone out, with my favourite music and a candle to enhance the atmosphere.
How do you make time for yourself? Or may be you will put aside some me-time after reading this? Please share and leave a comment below 🙂
