This year for Lent I am trying to take more time for me. I know that might sound selfish and like the opposite of what I should be doing but hear me out. Since my twins were born, nearly 3.5 years ago, I have been ignoring myself. To some that may sound as though I was being selfless but I would argue that I was being selfish. I have been putting my mom, wife, business, friend, daughter, and volunteer duties first (and not necessarily in that order). I used it as an excuse to give up on my responsibilities to myself. Responsibilities that include a daily devotional, daily exercise, doctors appointments and regular sleep. I will admit that the idea of taking an hour and a half during preschool hours seemed like I was being extravagant. However, on this side of the past three years I can say that I have been selfish. I would most certainly be a better mother, wife and friend if I were more mentally prepared with a good nights sleep and some "me" time.
So, all of that has led me to create this printable. I printed 40 of these and put them in a binder. I am challenging myself to check off everything on this list 5 out of seven days. You may ask, why did I put coffee on my list, who's going to forget coffee? I put it there as a daily reminder, first thing in the morning, to pause, slow down and take a breath.
Above is my personal list, and below is what the printable version looks like. If you are interested in using this list for yourself, click here.
