A Women's Worth

I feel really tired today! It has been a huge week from all angles of my life and at the end of week I am exhausted.

The husband and I had lunch together today and I mentioned I just felt like closing my eyes for 5 minutes. He encouraged me to do so and told me to do it without guilt......

As I was laying there, of course unable to sleep, I was thinking about how much we value ourselves or should I say de-value ourselves. How often do we just take 10 minutes of out the day and just be still? We always feel guilty as there is so much to do and to take 10 minutes would be selfish. Or is it?

I curled up on our daybed and closed my eyes. I shut my mind down as it was on overdrive and listened to the birds and stillness. After 10 minutes, I got up and continued on with my work. It was nice to just be still and do nothing.

We are worth this precious downtime to have the energy to keep going. Everyone benefits especially ourselves. I just need to learn to incorporate more downtime in my day to day to life and with the 10 minutes I had today, I am looking forward to my 10 minutes tomorrow.
