A decision of the small variety

[mermaidblue]

It feels incredibly selfish, but I've decided that I get one day a week where I only do what I want.

Just one day, and likely a rotating one given the chaos of my schedule, where I ignore the needs of everyone else (barring emergency) and concentrate on what my body and soul are telling me about my needs and desires.

No errands, no housework, no helping friends with non-emergent issues.

*sigh* This is gonna be hard.

It's not selfish at all. How can you help others if you're disintegrating due to lack of attention?

That's the premise I'm working under...but my martyr programming is having trouble with the concept.

errrr

How would one keep their sanity WITHOUT such time to themselves???

LMAO. I've never reserved any time for myself in my life. Perhaps that is part of why I'm stressed and overextended.

Even the idea seems beyond selfish to me, but I'm glad it makes sense outside of my head.

Absolutely seconding this. Self-time is priceless.

Go for it!

You need it. You've earned it. You deserve it.

Look yourself in the mirror and say that. Until you believe it like the rest of us do. *hug*

people who don't take some time for themselves end up kicking puppies and punching clowns. I gently recommend that some of that personal time be spent outside smelling the roses. as it were.

So... it's just a coincidence that you are having trouble with this concept, and simultaneously suffering a low self-esteem issue?

Just sayin'. ;)

Persevere, it'll feel natural soon enough!
