Taking Care of You - Part Two


Welcome back to our “Taking Care of YOU” series.

If you missed Part 1, please click HERE to read that post before continuing with Part 2.

 Today I’m going to jump right in with hint #2:

     2.      Use your “you time” for your needs, not others’. What makes you feel better? Hobbies such as reading, sewing, quilting, walking?






“Who has time?” you say? Most of us don't have time for hobbies, but we need to try to make time. Doing something recreational, relaxing your mind, taking it off all the other worries and stresses of the day—that is what I'm talking about in a hobby. Granted, most of us don't have time to take up golf or tennis, but we can probably find time to take an evening pottery class once a week or join a quilting group that meets twice a month.



Someone mentioned the idea of volunteering as a docent at a local museum, or finding a ceramics shop where you can go and paint ceramic figures for fun and gift giving. Just find a fun activity, no matter how small, that will take your mind off of your day-to-day cares.

Stay tuned right here for the next “Taking Care of YOU” post in just a few days!

Blessings,

  1. This is what I need to do! But it's easy to say, but hard to do!

  2. You are absolutely right, TN Quiltbug. It is difficult to accomplish, but has a payback that can't be measured. It will reboot your thought process, and help your perspective come back in balance. Praying that you can grab that time somewhere and reset, rejuvenate, and remember just how precious you are to the Lord AND your family!
