Hi Angel,

Balance is the key, that’s for sure. And only you know what that balance is for you. Certainly finding things that feed your soul are the most important thing you can do!

Love back atcha!

my hill in the back yard and have not enjoy leaving, so for me
is i do to many time outs and have not got back to my singing,
och! i know my soul needs that for it needs to sore,
here is knowing we all find our balance.

love Angel

Hi Donna!

I’m glad that this post spoke to you. And I totally support you in taking “YOU” time. Yeah!! Especially being in a role like caretaker for your mom – you definitely need and deserve that time to refuel and recharge. It’s also awesome that you love doing nothing. Even though my soul craves such activity – or lack of activity, I still find it hard to just . . . do . . . nothing. I’m inspired by your expert enjoyment of this “doing.” 🙂

Love love,

XOZ

More Wisdom from the Z Sister! Thank you. Thank you for letting myself see myself more clearly. I am definitely an Introvert that appears an Extrovert. I find too that I need to practice the time out because especially now that I’ve taken on another role as my Mother’s Caretaker… I’m “always” on…. so that even when I really don’t have tasks to do… I have to remind my body/emotions… okay this is Time Off time… She’s taken care of… now it’s Your Time… it’s hard to get all my personalitlies to realize we really can take this time to do nothing (which IS my favorite thing to “do”)
love you
Donna

Hi Squirrel,

That’s awesome that you’re making to chill. WAY important!

And good for you for changing your priorities and making more time for YOU. Saying goodbye to the 24/7 availability and the 126 hour work week sounds liberating. Yay!

In my case, my body seems to be the best indicator of what I need to do. Well, that and my mind. If I’m not in the mood to do something, or if it feels upstream, I simply don’t do it. Unless I have to, for some reason, and then I do. 😉

Happy Chillin’ to YOU!

Hi Marcy,

Yes!! I love it – a Nap Shoppe. Awesome idea!

I also like that you point out that allowing time for rest often means going against cultural norms, including being willing to be vocal about valuing relaxation and time off. I’m always encouraged by others who are making time for rest – so thank you for your comment!

Nap On!
