Overwork

Lately I have spent a lot of time working. Whether it’s at my office, the cafe, school work, I have spent so much time lately without having my own time. The ratio is a little off and has been for a little while now. So today I decided it was time to take me time back. 

I decided at the end of this month I will be done at the cafe, I have loved it and offered to help out if they truly needed it but I needed to take time back for me. I have spent so much time giving out all my energy and not giving myself enough time to replenish it. At the end of this month I will also finish school so that gives me extra time back as well. On top of all of this I do have to move twice, so I have just been trying to take time when I can. 

So how do we find time, or peace when our worlds are constantly moving? I like to try to take moments out of my day to decompress. I may spend time watching a show, or reading a book. I may cuddle with my dog or go for a walk. In those moments I am working on just being present with whatever it is I am doing. That helps me take time for me. 

What are some ways that you find time for yourself amongst the overwork?Do you even notice it? I didn’t realize how much I had on my plate till this passed weekend when I started to take everything into account. So do you see if you are being stretched thin? What helps you? I noticed that since I feel so stretched I haven’t been able to write as well. I feel my creativity getting burnt out, and my blog entries so hard to even write. That’s why I am taking a step back. I’m giving myself time to decompress and love on myself hard. 

Today was a 6.
