⁣Have you ever been out of your groove and felt guilty about it? I almost did.
•
At the end of my holiday weekend, I asked myself if I had lost motivation for the things I enjoy doing. Mainly because I had put relaxing at the top of my list and I had been loving every moment of it. Not to say I don't enjoy relaxing, but I had been pushing aside writing, working out, and creating for my business, to name a few.
•
Was this a lack of motivation or did I get comfortable with chillin'? I almost wanted to feel guilty for giving myself "Me time," but I'm not. I've learned it's so easy to get caught up in what I'm NOT doing and make myself
feel bad about it and yet I am also doing other things that I love that may take a backseat at other times.
•
In the past I would have beaten myself up by feeling I'm not doing enough. Almost as if I didn't deserve to take a break from attaining my goals, forgetting that my mental well-being is a significant piece in attaining any goal that I set for myself.
•
I know that I put this pressure on myself and I've learned to acknowledge when I'm getting too comfortable and can decide to commit to taking actions that serve me in other areas of my life and give to others as well. I deserve to fill me up in all areas of my life, because who I am is not limited to one thing.

I can acknowledge "Me time" as self-love and it's perfectly fine and there is no need to feel guilty about it.
•
Have you ever felt guilty about giving yourself "Me time" when you feel there's a long "To-do list?" Know that YOU deserve to allow yourself actions of self-love and remind yourself that everything is happening in perfect timing.
