One-a-Day

The last few weeks have started out great, but the farther I get into the week, the more stressed out and overwhelmed I feel. I don't know if anyone else out there in blog-land has the same issues. (I imagine anyone who teaches is in the same boat as I am.) I have come up with a solution. Well, not really a solution...more like an experiment. No matter how bogged down we get with work/family/bills/other stressful things, let's vow to do ONE thing a day just for ourselves. I'm not saying this has to be a big thing (although it could be once in a while). It could be something like treating yourself to a Starbucks coffee, taking a bubble bath, reading for pleasure (imagine that!) for 10 minutes, making a fun online purchase, whatever. As long as this "one-a-day" is purely for yourself. I know this sounds a little selfish, but many times we (and I mean women, mostly) put everyone else first and don't take the time to make sure we are in a good place, sacrificing our sanity for the sake of others. Taking the focus off of our stresses and spending time doing something positive for ourselves just once a day, may make us feel more confident and centered. I really think this is worth a try. So, my "one-a-day" for today? Yoga!!! And tomorrow??? Sushi dinner with my friend Rachel. What will your "one-a-day" be today? Tomorrow?? Keep me POSTed!
