Having "Me Time" Does Not Mean You're Wasting Time
- Ensure you have some ‘me time’ regardless of how busy your schedule is and don’t feel guilty about it:
- Without health, in particular mental health, you will have nothing. So focusing on doing something for yourself, that you enjoy, is more important and less ridiculous than you may think.
- Take even ten minutes for yourself, if you can’t take an hour. A short break is better than nothing.
- Do not set unrealistic goals. If you know you won’t get something done, accept it and get on with the tasks you can.
- Remember you do not need to do everything. It won’t be the end of the world if you do not have ti
me to send that email you’ve been meaning to do. Stop feeling guilty if you have generally done something that you think has been a waste of time. Don’t focus on the problem, focus on the solution. Move on.
