I have been taking a course from Coach U – Building Personal Foundations  – and one thing that has really been a key topic is how important it is to take time out of every day for me.

This time is meant  strictly for me – not my work, my kids, my husband, friends. But me and me alone.

I made a goal of starting with 30 minutes every day and this past week I have managed to be successful with this.  My biggest struggle working from home is juggling work and family schedule. Being able to optimize my time with family is big for me – after all that is the reason why I started a home-based business.

This class has really made me think about many aspects of my life – family and work life.  I realize now more than ever how important it is to actually schedule in time for me.  Life is hectic and busy for everyone and taking a timeout can help re-energize and rejuvenate you.  It will also help motivate you in many ways – breaking away will do that.  It may seem difficult at first, but you mind, body and spirit will thank you in the end.

What strategies or plans do you use to set aside ‘your time’?  I’d love to hear them.
