You Time ~ Required Reading.

Do you  take time for yourself? Do you enjoy getting massages but never have the time? Do you enjoy walks in the park but put a million other tasks ahead of something you find pleasurable? Are you constantly saying to your friends that you should do lunch sometime but never follow up on getting together with your friends? Do you fall into bed each night exhausted from work, family and household responsibilities but having done nothing for yourself all day because you are too busy?

Who can't say yes to all of the above? This is what we are led to believe is how we should be living our lives. We are expected to put ourselves last. If you are always believing that you are too busy to enjoy the things you love to do, then guess what? The Universe will give you what you expect. You will always be too busy to do the things you love!

The September 2010 issue of Whole Living has an article on 6 ways to boost healing. The opening line states that if you don't take time for yourself, you will most likely be sick because relaxation and pleasure are healing states of mind. I don't have to tell anyone this - we all know that stress can compromise our health. But when you are constantly saying to yourself that you don't have time to relax and enjoy the things you find pleasurable, guess what? The Law of Attraction will make it so!

Start telling yourself you do have time to enjoy pleasurable things. Take a 15 minute walk, curl up with the book that has been sitting on your nightstand for a year, even if it is for only 10 minutes. Start squeezing out small amounts of time daily for yourself. It is possible. And the more you make it happen and come to expect that time for yourself, the more the universe will grant you and the easier it will be to attract more time for yourself.

The Law of Attraction gives you what you expect. Make sure you expect time for yourself. And be well!
