Slow down!

Yes, here I go talking about time again, but in a slightly different sense that was previously mentioned, hear me out:

Time is such a precious commodity.  It falls short often and yet passes by at the speed of light.  Thinking about how I have been really slacking on reading and writing, it came to me that I need to learn to delegate more time doing things I enjoy, and less time stressing over the little things in life.  Time suckers such as: laundry, things I can’t control, work, the past and how to equally spend time with those I love need to be put in check. Being a creature of habit, I get so caught up in routines that often I fall into these comfort zones where time is not only wasted, but at times ;) , it’s unfulfilling to me personally.  So- from this writing forward, I’d like to try to make a more consciences effort to put myself first.  It’s time to let go of people pleasing and do what I feel, in the moment, is right for me.  I believe there’s a fine line between overly caring of others wants, needs and expectations, and possessing selfish tendencies.  I’m confident, as I believe many of those I love would vouch for, I’m rather unselfish.  Therefore, if I choose to put myself first from time to time, that’s okay, as a matter of fact it’s necessary.  At the end of the day, I’ve always been such a huge advocate of that little saying, just because you’re busy, doesn’t mean you’re productive. I choose to be more productive in my own harmonious ways, that includes taking care of business, while also setting aside plenty of time for me.   Just in writing this I feel I have the affirmations needed to carry on, so here I go.  Thanks for reading, cheers!
