How many of you are like me and usually put the wellbeing of others first and usually forget about yourself? Or perhaps you find yourself last on your own list of things to do after "get milk, do taxes & finish work project".
I imagine there are quite a few of us who do this...especially if you are a parent. If there is one thing I learned in college though, it was the value of self-care. We all need it. For some it means bubble baths, a quiet night in, a good book, a movie, or even meditation if you are into that sort of thing.
My self-care day is Sunday, a day of rest. Well not a whole day, a morning actually...but at least I can call it mine. It is the one day of the week I do not run by an alarm clock and I can do whatever I want. I wake up as nature intended, I read, I write, and I enjoy quiet moments. It is the one day that I am not run by a schedule or rushed out the door with such a fury that I have to look down and see if I remembered putting on pants. If I had to pick one song that would express my Sunday morning sentiments, I think this one suits it very well…except that I don’t own a Snuggie, I don’t know how to Douggie, I am not a freakin’ man…and due to my dating restrictions, no one will be screaming out “Oh my God, this is great.” HA! Have a listen…viewer discretion is advised.
Weird video I know, but I like the catchy tune and lyrics. Besides, the whistling monkeys make me laugh every time. (Hope I didn’t offend anyone).
Whatever it is for you though, there needs to be some sort of unwinding and time to show yourself that you matter to you. And truth be told, when you show yourself that you matter to you first...Mr. Right will notice. So go ahead and make yourself count. No one else will do it for you.
Well, unless your life is like the movie "Freaky Friday" where you switch bodies with another person for a day. Then I would tradsies with you and do it for you. I am pretty sure that you can twist my rubber arm to have all the fun for you too! But no worries, I promise you can have you back after I'm done relaxing. ;)
