Create The Life You Crave: Give Yourself Some Time

Give Yourself Some Time

Right now, this very second, write down the number one thing you would do right now if you had 15 minutes to do anything you wanted, uninterrupted.

Next, read that thing you want to do. Can you do it right now? Can you carve out 15 minutes for yourself and give those few precious minutes to yourself? If not now, when? If taking time for you right now is not an option, schedule a time in the next 12 hours for you. Actually write on your calendar what you will do and what time you will do it. Go ahead. Schedule a time slot for you.

Because time for ourselves and time for our families doesn't have to be "scheduled" on the calendar we often forget to pay attention to how much time we are giving others and how much time truly goes towards those who matter most. It is wonderful to serve and give, but what if you have nothing left to give - not even to your family - because you never take a moment for you?

Today I want you to block out on your calendar one 15 minute time slot just for you.

Go on.

Give yourself some time.

Here is My "WHY"

My reason for starting this blog and organizing my life has two parts: first, time for building and strengthening relationships - with God, with spouse, with children, with neighbors, with friends; and second, time for your vein of creativity.
We all desire a creative, soul-boosting outlet, yet often we get so swallowed up doing what falls in our lap, that we fail to take the time to plan for those things that build and shape who we are and how we influence those around us.

When you have a plan for your life, you get to be in control and create the life you truly crave. When you tell your tasks which days to be done on, you create the life that you want and more easily decide what goals you want to work toward. Find ways to accomplish even the smallest and mundane of tasks without trying to remember or feel guilt when you have a busy day and miss the most important things to you.
