Feeling stretched really thinly is no fun!
Are you always helping other people do things all day?
So many tasks going on all the time, driving here there and everywhere.
BUT
Do we really have to be in control of everything for our families, surely they must learn to do some things themselves right?
What’s really happening is that we aren’t creating enough “us” time and always putting everyone else first. If we lose this time we stop consciously connecting to our higher self and to god and to that limitless supply of energy from the universe.
We don’t focus on LOVE, but just on the practical aspects of day to day life. Sure, we want our lives to be organised but we need FUN too!
What causes us to not honour our “us” time?
- You may not have found a good spiritual practise that works for you. You are totally different to all others so you need something that fits your truth. But you do need the energy flow that comes with it to help keep you working with positivity as much as you can!
- You are not admitting to yourself the big benefit you get, if you do already know what your ideal spiritual practise is! Yes you can be ok without regular practise, but really we all want to be more than just ok!
- You focus mainly on physical needs of warmth, clothing, food, drink (even alcohol!) and money and don’t consider that your energy bodies (mental, emotional and spiritual) need attention too! 🙂
- You aren’t able to focus on what you really, really want – although you know you would love to! Maybe what you love is deeply buried and you have to release it!
I hope you are inspired to give yourself the “you” time you deserve to be happier and stronger in your life! 🙂
For those of you that are interested in yoga as a spiritual practise and would like to give yourself more yoga time everyday I’m running a video training webinar on Saturday 6th July to delve into all the root causes why we feel “too busy/too tired/not motivated” to do the yoga that we know helps our physical and mental health so much!

I don’t feel like a bandage anymore when it comes to other people but I do when I think of my businesses. Me time gets dropped out. Thanks for reminding me to shore that up Jennifer!
I do not have children in the home, and yet I still struggle sometimes with giving myself that “me” time. It’s strange, because my days are my “me” time (although I also do a lot for my husband), but some of that is devoted to the kind of task that is product oriented, aimed at some goal. I absolutely have to have the kind of time that is for the “being” – getting my spirit and body aligned. I always need the reminder and encouragement, so thank you!
Glad to be of service and help remind you Judy! You definitely deserve it and it does not have to come after you have achieved anything as its just because you are you! xxx
As women, i feel we always put ourselves last. It’s a biological snafu.
Yes we can be natural givers and look after others so well. But looking after ourselves is just as important 🙂
Your first point I think is so so important to remember. We are all different and we need to find a practice that fits us each as an individual. I think all too often we get caught up in what the gurus tell us we “should” be doing. Remembering what works for them may not be what works for us, and what does work can evolve. What works now may not be our forever practice. Start small but DO IT. Our energetic selves need attention too. You’re so right.
Thanks Kate, yes our practises always evolve, I remember what doing reiki was like for the first time and compare it to now and its quite different! But as you say if we don’t start somewhere we can’t ever get better! 🙂
