I badly need a ME time ...

Juggling my time between being a full time mom and home maker, taking care of our small business, my online writing tasks and other extra curricular activities, it's easy to get suck up and forget to find time for myself.

I just realized that I have been neglecting myself. Aside from the fact that I have been suffering from heat rash, with super tingly and itchy rash all over my body which makes me feel sluggish for the past month, I have disregarded my body's need for physical activity.

I guess my being busy has been an easy excuse for me. Now, I am experiencing the effects, I feel stressed and somewhat lethargic, kinda slow nowadays and I know I need a break.

One of the Facebook applications I am fond of visiting is called "On this day, God wants you to know.." and on this day this is the message I got...

"That if you feel you are busy, you are. Give yourself permission to be un-busy. Give yourself an hour or a day to simply be. Allow yourself the luxury of a small retreat. Allow your spirit time to be restored. Even God took a day of rest."

I guess I need to listen to my body more clearly. I know that the Lord is communicating in a lot of ways and probably this is one of them. I need to relax and have a ME time. It's probably time for me to have a haircut, visit my nail salon and have a massage.

Honestly, I have gained a lot of weight and that explains the sluggish feeling. I better take this seriously before I resort to taking phentermine. I would rather lose weight the right way than taking in appetite suppressants unless I get so desperate.
