“But if I do everything I should do, I won’t have time to do what I shouldn’t.” -Dennis The Menace
Do you spend most of your time doing what you should do and seldom give yourself permission to do what you want to do? Are there things you want to do that you think you shouldn't do?
It can feel so natural to give a big portion of your time and attention to your obligations and to the people you love. There is nothing wrong with being generous but when you continually focus on others while ignoring yourself, you are in danger of burnout and feelings of resentment and irritability. Each Friday you have an opportunity to scan your week and take actions that will strengthen your own personal foundation so that you can continue to stand strong and show up for those you love.
What did you notice about yourself this past week? What activities did you enjoy and want more of? Who did you enjoy spending time with?
Take the following question with you as you step into a new week: If you could choose how to spend your time and energy, what would you choose more of and what would you let go of?
