I woke up the other day and | realized I was a bit tired
of.. me.
We tend to get into a rut
about how we view things, talk about our lives, worry about our future.
I decided that today I would do things
differently. Just for a day. I got up
that morning and decided absolutely no internet. Then I sat down on my couch and watched 3
television shows in a row without guilt that there was laundry to do or any
other pressing chore within arms reach. Then I went to the coffee shop and had
a pastry without any thought of calorie count. I went home and went through
my closet and gave away things that I just did not want to talk myself
into wearing anymore. Then I took a look n
the mirror and cut some bangs in my hair and I wore my makeup a different way. Finally when I felt tired I just went to bed
.
Now I will admit this was one of those
rare days when I did not have to be anywhere and my little one was being cared for by my
spouse which, to be honest, is actually part of my makeover day. I gave myself
permission to be by myself without feeling guilty of not taking advantage of
family time.
The next day I felt a
little shift. I gave myself permission to stop expecting to accomplish so much in a day.
Action Moment:
Do you need to give your life a mini makeover? If so, what
would you do that day? What would you wear? What would you eat? Who would you connect with? Pick the day and relish the time.
