Most people who can not find time to exercise are the same very busy people that do not take time for themselves. These people tend to be women and they seem to put themselves on the priority list last or not at all. Trying to find “me” time may seem impossible, but somehow each person needs to find the time for themselves. You need to take some me time of your own. Here are some things I have a problem with that you may be able to relate to:
    “I feel like I’m neglecting my work or family if I go for a walk.” Why do we feel selfish if a person focuses on yourself? Many of us either learned it from our mothers to put ourself last, or is it actually part of our female being to be a caregiver. The experts say if you don’t take care of yourself then you’ll lose your temper, get sick and maybe age faster. Each one of us must say “I need to nurture myself because I’m worth it - and I’ll be worthless to everyone else.”
    “I have to do everything because no one else does anything right.” Why are we so convinced our way is right? We need to let some of those many chores or work habits be done by someone else, their way, and then we can find some extra me time. “I am ok that everything isn’t done perfectly, at least it is done.”
    “I find that being busy is a good distraction or good excuse to not exercise.” When a person actually takes the time to exercise then we start tuning into ourselves and we may discover all kinds of feelings. We need to pay attention to ourselves so we can focus on the good things that will stimulate us into positive change. People say their whole disposition changes when they maintain a consistent routine, their stress level lessens and thinking becomes clearer. “Think I better start walking as soon as possible.”
