I have begun to realize the importance of taking time for me! I work long hours and at the end of the day there really isn't enough time to take care of the care taker. I have started feeling less guilty about the time that I have started to take for ME!
One thing that I have started to do is reward myself every 6-8 weeks with a hair appointment. I go to the salon during work hours and I don't look back. It also helps that my stylist is a perfectionist, so she takes her time. There is no rushing during her hair appointments, which makes it even better for me. I love the time at the salon! Adult conversations, gossip, and catching up with opinions about reality TV and Hollywood couples.
The next thing is game night with the girls. Every month a group of us get together at each others houses. We pay 10 dollars and the host of the evening will purchase gifts and food. We play all sorts of board games, dice games, and word games. It is a hoot! Plus it gives us a chance to unwind and have some beverages outside of work.
Don't underestimate the value of happy hour. Fortunately, we work across the street from one of Gillette's most popular restaurants. It is tempting and often necessary after a long day's work to partake in the beloved happy hour! At certain times of the year, when there are several pending deadlines we love ourselves some drinks!
My new fix is working out! I am starting to work on myself, inside and out. While I am working diligently on dumping debt in my life, now is as good as time as any to go ahead and dump some weight. I am finding that if I work out I have more energy throughout the day. I am going to train for a triathlon in May. I am excited and ready to change this part of my life. I am working out before work and after.
