Today I had an emergency with my
dog Hurt. For the last few months my mom
has been under the weather. I was
talking about all of this today and was asked a good question. The question was, with all that has been
going on what have I done for myself.

going on what have I done for myself.
At first I was kind of stumped by
the question. Then I realized my answer
was blogging. I blog because I want to. While I do the occasional paid post, I do not
make enough money blogging to feel obligated to do it. I know that I do have some loyal readers, and
I am so thankful for you, do write for
me and only me. Blogging is what I do
for myself.

When I thought a bit further about
what I am doing to tend to myself I realized I do have a few opportunities for
some self love coming up thanks to my birthday.
This weekend I will be indulging in some pampering at the spa, some
creative girlfriend time, meals with friends, and cake (everyone loves birthday
cake).

Though things have been stressful
as the often are from time to time. I
have been taking care of me.

What about
you? How do you take care of yourself
during times of stress? What have you done for yourself lately?

Good question for me I bowl & just started back at the gym…I really enjoy the gym workout especially on those days that I don't feel like going because it's a scense of personel accomplishment. However, since I am becoming a dad again my time for me will be just enjoying and getting acquainted my new daughter.
My schedule has been super hectic this year but I try to make dinner time all about me time … I'll enjoy dinner, have a nice glass of wine and catch up on one of my tv shows before I have to jump into the next task. … It's 45 minutes of just me time and I love it … I have also decided to allow myself a monthly mani/pedi …budget allowing 🙂
It's good to take a moment for yourself whether its once a day or once a month … we forget to slow down when we are helping those we love …and while it does not seem like work because IT IS for our loved ones …all the extra stress can be straining and ultimately effect your health. I hope you have a fabulous birthday month!
Great post and Reminder! I too also blog for myself, it helps me not feel as bad when I have an off week or blogcation. Writing is an outlet and perhaps a calling for me. When asked what I would do anyway if money wasn't an obstacle I wanted to write and support other talented and inspiring writers. (And a spa sounds nice too) 🙂
Blogging can be such a great outlet and way to get and give support.
I went to the spa yesterday! It is an awesome treat for every now and then.
I finally went to the spa! I bought a certificate on Living Social (Now that I'm a mom, I don't drop $200 on a massage, no matter how blissful!) It was so wonderful to relax and take care of me for a change.
I leave my house one day a week and go to my local coffee house for a few hours and just relax and enjoy quiet time with no husband and children. A fe times a year I also take myself to center city Philadelphia for lunch and yarn shopping.
Yarn shopping? Do you knit Janeane? I did not know you were crafty 🙂
Sometimes, you're so caught up with your work that you forget to take care of yourself. I would be nice to some "me-time". If I could, then I would like to travel.
A solo trip KC? Sounds like a good idea. Where would you go?
