Do you give yourself enough time?

The key word in this question is "GIVE".  I just recently re-discovered myself!  I married my husband 15 years ago and without really being conscious of it, starting adopting many of his habits.  He lives a very irregular life, runs a home-based business, and lives "for the moment".  I found it easier to "go with the flow" and not "rock the boat" and have spent the past 15 years living "untrue" to myself, running on "his" schedule not "mine".  I am super organized and had always lived with routines, traditions and schedules.  A day for cleaning, a day for shopping, a day for laundry, and so on.  I came across an old journal not too long ago and suddenly something (the ol' light bulb) clicked on.   I missed my traditions, my routines!!  So I set about getting back into my routines.   Each day I've scheduled some task or chore, one day for laundry, one day for shopping, one day for housecleaning, one day for cooking the weekly meals (that's an incredible time saver!!), and yes, one day that I call "Spa Day".  That day, with all the house chores done or on schedule, I can actually have one whole day to myself, guiltlessly ... I do a home facial, prepare a "spa" bath complete with aromatherapy, occassionally I treat myself to a massage at a spa, I spend the day relaxing with a good book, sipping on herbal teas all day, and go for long walks.  What an energy boost!!  I believe now that in order to truly "give yourself the gift of time", you need to organize your life to where you have daily and weekly routines mapped out to complete all the things that take up your time; otherwise they will rob you of your time.   Now I have more than enough time for myself, to refresh and recharge.  Time really is too precious to waste!  Routines and making time for family traditions is the answer for me.  Today, time is my friend and it takes care of me, when I take care of it!  Routinely "give" yourself a scheduled time just for you and it too will be your friend.
