3 Ways to Carve Out Time for Self-Care

When something has to get pushed to the back burner, it's often self-care. You tell yourself that you need it, you deserve it, you crave it, but you don't have time for it. The trust is, if you don't make it a priority, it's not going to happen. You have to decide that you're significant, and you're going to make yourself a priority. You don't have to neglect your family for it, so put that excuse right out of your mind. That's is what you think to yourself. You believe that your family will fall apart if you take an hour or so a week for yourself. Your family will be okay, they'll be incredible, and your children will be learning from a young age, that self-care is vital.


As long as the House is Clean, Who Cares Who Cleans It?

As long as your house is clean, it doesn't matter who cleans it. You can carve out time by hiring a maid service. When it comes to maid services OKC is sure to have the perfect one for your needs. Instead of feeling guilty about not being the one to clean your home, feel fantastic that you are doing something vital for yourself and feel good that you're helping someone else to earn a living so that they can do something great for themselves.


Learn How to Say No

Surprisingly, many people don't know how to say 'no.' Sure, they know how to pronounce the word, but they often over-explain or get tripped up and end up agreeing to something they don't want to do.


  • Say ' no, I'm sorry, I can't. '.

  • No other explanation is needed.

  • End the conversation if the other party keeps trying to convince you to do what they asked.


Remember, the school won't disintegrate if you say no to one PTO request, your family will understand if you have to bow out of a dinner, and your friend can find someone else to help them, this one time. When you start learning to say no, you'll begin to get time to take care of yourself.


Make a Date with yourself

You wouldn't break a date with your spouse or your children, so don't break one with yourself. Set aside a particular date and time when you're going to make you a priority. Make regular dates with yourself and see how much better you feel.


You now have three ways to find time for yourself. Hire someone to clean your home, stop saying 'yes' to every request, and make a date with yourself. Now you have no excuse for ignoring your self-care.
