It may sound selfish, but it’s truly savvy.  Whether you’re single, dating, married or a parent, when you take time for yourself, everyone benefits!  As a mom of three small children, I can lose myself in the day-to-day care of my kids and home.  From carpools, to kids’ activities, to meals, to errands, there’s little room to even eat my lunch.

When we don’t carve out some "me time" in our week we can become resentful of those around us.  But "me time" is a choice.  You have to make it happen and when you do, don’t feel guilty about it!  You’re not selfish.  You’re smart and those around you will appreciate how you value yourself.  My own results —I’m a calmer mom, a happier wife, a kinder friend and healthier me.
