Whether that means that you wake up early enough to just have 15 minutes to yourself, to take a shower where nobody is bothering you, to going on a walk, that's something that just lets you release all your thoughts and anxieties before you start your day or even before you go to bed. We tend to carry a lot of other people's problems, try to solve other people's problems and then we are left with our own problems that we have not solved. That's very typical

Truly, I think it's so important, and I think it can't be said enough. I was actually talking about something similar with somebody the other day, and they phrased it in a way that was really it helped me visualize it a lot. They're saying that you give so much to people that you end up empty, and in that emptiness, you get filled up with stuff that you don't want or that you don't like or that is not you
It's a situation where I find giving more of my time to everybody else, but I'm only giving myself maybe a half hour a day of just peace and quiet, of working out, reading a book, something that I value. It's not fair to myself that I'm only giving myself 30 minutes a day, but I'm giving somebody else hours. Our time is so valuable. It's something we cannot make it more of

I have twins, they'll be 18 soon and I have a nine year old and I am slowly relinquishing someone that control and someone's responsibilities because I'm still their mom. But I can't do it all and they need to depend on themselves some too. Now I dedicate 8 hours a day to a job. Even after work. I'm dedicated more time to my house and it's so hard for me to carve out time

And what I really think that we should start to do is to kind of change the game, is to really impact our young girls and model it differently for them. Oftentimes we're buying them dolls and we're like, did you do this for your doll? Did you do that for your your doll? Versus saying, okay, I've gifted you this doll and have you put your doll down so you can do something that you want to do
Hi. Thank you. I do agree with what you're saying. I was thinking, as you were speaking, that a lot of the times we end up just doing things for other people, like you said, even if we don't want to do it, even if we are depleted and we just keep serving other people
Originally it seemed like the whole concept of the post was behind Latina women or whatever the culture is. We live in a society where more times than none, it's a single mom. No matter how you slice it, no matter where you're from, what your background, your ethnicity, or whatever, we're pressed for time. We could probably use another 4 hours. It could be easily 28 hours, 30 hours a day if we could. But it is what it is
There's times where you just hang out with your girls and have that one night to just relax, go on a spa day or whatever. But I remember listening to another podcast and it was talking about how you have like a five day weekend because you don't just wait until the weekend to have a vacation or a weekend to let loose and relax
