Sunday Post : Take Time For You

Taking care of yourself can seem like a simple and obvious task at hand but can quickly be pushed aside by the everyday activities that we as busy bees can't seem to take a break from. While it may seem impossible to take time out of your busy day for yourself, I'm here to tell you it is totally possible and heres how:

1. Schedule Time for Yourself and Stick To It
While this may seem like a simple step to say "Hey I'm going to take a break" and stick to it, it can actually be really tough. Whether you are busy studying for your next big exam or just busy with another activity life has thrown your way it can be hard to convince yourself not to feel guilty about giving yourself that half an hour break you know you deserve and to take time away from finishing the tasks at hand. But it is because of this break you will come back more energized and ready to tackle the next task on your to do list. So take that break, you deserve it!

Tip: While it is important to take a break, it is also important to know the difference between a break and procrastination, and half an hour to forty-five minute break should be just enough time to help you replenish your energy and get you ready to start working again.

2. Pick An Activity
Whether you are doing yoga, cozying up with a good book, binging on your favorite Nexflix show (right now mine is Gossip Girl, how can you not fall for the endless good looks of Nate Archibald?), or just catching up on some well deserved sleep; you earned it! Pick something you don't get to do nearly enough (like working out I wish I had the chance to do this more often since it is actually something I really enjoy) or something that is relaxing and will put your mind at ease. Remember, whatever you choice to do with your time off, it's supposed to help you relax and have fun so worry about yourself and pick something you'll enjoy.  

3. Fill Your Space With Relaxing Products

Whether it's candles or fairy lights, it's great to have relaxing products surrounding you throughout the day. Having products like these both in your work and living spaces will allow you to unwind and keep your head clear during stressful situations and feel as though you are always on a break.

So take that break, you deserve it and I'll see you Wednesday with a new post.

Love,
