Me time, or the concept of taking time for yourself

This is one of Madmoizelle’s favorite mantras, take time for yourself and do what you loveis to take care of yourself. Obviously, learning to listen to yourself is not innate and takes work. Also, this can take different forms, it is also the concept of my time.

This mantra is similar to that of the Special K brand: Start Good, Stay Good. Be translated as, “A good start. A good day”. Also, know that taking the time to enjoy a breakfast you like can also be considered a moment of well-being. Then it’s up to you to include it in a routine like the my time.

The rehabilitation of the routine

For this, what’s better than establishing a routine? Previously, this word could scarelike the symbol of a newspaper too framed, a habit that seemed to take away all the flavor of life. For some years, associated with the terms morning Where is it eveningthis word is experiencing a renaissance. It becomes essential to start or end the day in the best conditions.

HASa beginning, the morning of the miracle

Following the example of miraculous morning, a concept imagined by American author and lecturer Hal Elrod, to increase efficiency and productivity. Presumably used by all the greats of this world, the main challenge of this method isget up at 5:30 in the morning.

So let’s divide our morning (or the end of our night, if you’re not a morning person) into different activities, ranging from meditation to reading, not forgetting to write or play sports and the preparation of a delicious breakfast. Busy mornings worthy of the best beauty youtubers alreadythen move on to his work day (and certainly take a nap between noon and two) and his evening. Well, writing this, I’m tired in advance.

Time for yourself

However, if the idea of ​​getting up at 5:30 makes you want to breathe in a paper bag, this miraculous morning puts his finger on an important precept that we often forget: take some time for yourself. And if meditation can allow some people to clear their minds and make room for new ideas and freshness, other choices are possible, which do not necessarily involve an awkward position (am I the only one with ants in my legs in the meditation position? ).

the my time (name of an upcoming movie with Mark Wahlberg, in which one father in particular decides to take time for himself), what could we call it, it can start in any position and anywhere. Sometimes it also begins when we have breakfast (do you also read and reread the cereal packet?) Or when we are alone in the bathroom: isn’t it in this inappropriate place that sometimes your best ideas, or your current problems are solved?

This moment for yourself, it can also be a great inspiration in the middle of your day, go to the office, put on your makeup, read a magazine or just do nothing on the sofa with your eyes open or closed. If fifteen minutes is enough, this time for you can be much more important: a week, a month, which you choose to dedicate only to your little person, to listen to you in case of need. Because taking time for yourself is also taking care of othersand reduce stress to peacefully start a new phase.

There is something new in the wonderful world of cereals

Special K is renewed by changing the composition of its three historical recipes without giving up the taste for breakfast a meal that combines well-being and pleasure. Special K has greatly improved the recipe for its iconic petal, which it now has more fiber and less salt without sacrificing taste.

Whatever activities are planned for your day, your morning can start on the right foot: “A good start. A good day”.

How do you make time for yourself?

Some coaches will tell you it’s a matter of willpower. It goes way beyond. The imperatives, the daily life, your morale, the mental load take over and leave you no choice. Don’t blame yourself for poor organization : there are often things that are beyond your responsibility!

First imagine a fifteen or even twenty minute break that you literally incorporate into your diarywherever you see fit: in the morning before your roommates / family members wake up, during the lunch break or in the evening when everyone has gone to bed. Take a deep breath and let your mind wander : have breakfast, write, relax, take care of yourself, do nothing.

It’s your time, it’s up to you what you want to do with it and don’t let anyone else, closest coach, persuade you what to do those precious minutes / hours. The world is yours, and it’s up to him to make room for you, for a little enchanted break!

What changes the weather for you?

If this appointment becomes recurring, you may be able to feel many changes within you. New ideas or new projects that emerge, solutions that appear, an anxiety that slowly but surely dissolves, and the impression of finally listening to each other.

It’s time to try new things and let your body express itself. If you are in control all the time, this possibility will surely make some nice surprises appear. All the better: you deserve it.
