You have permission to rest.
You are not responsible for fixing everything that is broken.
You do not have to try and make everyone happy.
For now, take time for you.
It's time to replenish.
Abraham-Hicks
It is always hard to find the time to do all that you need to do and it's as often as not that you, yourself, don't make the short list. This becomes a habit, a way of life.... you get the short end of the stick and barely have the time to even notice. You have your job, your parents, your children, your home, pets etc. etc. etc. and these are simply the basics. If the kids have to be chauffeured somewhere, it's a safe bet that you will miss out on gym time, your run or coffee with a friend, whatever it may be that fulfills your needs.
This scenario quickly becomes the norm .... taking care of everyone within a 10-mile radius, with little time left for you and your needs.
You are NOT responsible for everything that happens in the world AND if you don't take care of yourself you will be no good to anyone else. You ARE responsible for YOU, that's it, Obviously, if you have small children or pets they must be attended to, but otherwise..... You are the main event!
So if you are able to give your time and attention to the others, you can do the same for you. Make your needs known, replenish your soul, take time for you. You are important, act like it.
