We all have families, jobs and even friends who need us and call on us to help make their lives easier. It can be easy to take care of everyone else and run yourself ragged. So how do you create the necessary balance where you feel good about helping others while still having time for your own needs?
The answer is to prioritize and organize. Most of us think that we must plan a vacation or schedule hours at a time to recharge our batteries. This is not true. If you were to plan at least fifteen minutes into your day for you time, your entire day would get better and your state of mind would improve.
You must make a commitment to actually schedule it into your day though and follow through. Fifteen minutes is not such a great amount of time after all. You can get up fifteen minutes early each morning and meditate or grab a cup of coffee and sit out on your front porch before beginning your day. Or you can stay up fifteen minutes later than the kids and allow yourself a nice long shower. Or in the middle of a chaotic day you can excuse yourself to go to the bathroom and simply lock the door. Have your iPod hidden in a drawer so you can listen to your favorite tunes while you are in me time lock down.
This works at work too. Take your bathroom break and take your iPod with you. Listen to your favorite relaxing music while you are tucked away in a stall and then when you are feeling centered again go back to work. Almost no one will challenge you about having to use the facilities. For women this is even easier. Just hint at female problems and the guys in your company will gladly usher you to the bathroom just to change the subject.
You can even get other members of your family involved. You take care of them all day long. Let them know that you need those fifteen minutes to recharge your batteries and you would appreciate their help. If you have older children that are old enough to watch the younger ones, ask them to play a game during the time you need. Or put on their favorite movie if you want the time to take a bubble bath. If you are married, make a deal with your husband. He gets fifteen minutes of quiet when he gets home, without a single question about work or a single mention of the kids or bills. In return, when his fifteen minutes are up, he can entertain the kids for your fifteen minutes of peace.
There is always a way to get what you need without neglecting others. You simply have to schedule it in to your day, just as you do their doctors appointments, dance classes and karate. Then simply follow through like you do for them.
