How are you going to give yourself a peaceful Sunday and refresh yourself for the week that is ahead. What fun things or you time will you give yourself today? A new week is coming - give yourself a break and breath in! What are you doing for you today??? I can't wait to hear.
In church there is a point in the service where we shake hands with people next to us and say "Peace be with you". It really is a prayer that the person you are greeting has a peaceful heart during their week - so to you - Peace be with you
I came across this:
why you take time for yourself:
"You’ll be happier and healthier — and the rest of your family will be, too.
You’ll be able to manage daily responsibilities more effectively and efficiently.
Your stamina, insight, and thinking abilities will be better.
You’ll get along with others more effectively.
You’ll be better able to think up solutions to your problems.
You’ll be able to take better care of others"
"-Give yourself credit for things you accomplish. People like to be recognized for their successes. Don’t wait for others to praise you. Reward yourself when you take positive steps or reach a goal.
Keep track of your stress level and emotions. Monitor them regularly, so you can get help and support as needed.
Set aside alone time. We all need time alone to re-charge our batteries. Take a little time out each day to do something alone — take a bath, go for a walk, write in a journal, meditate.
Take time out to do things you enjoy. Read a book, go dancing, watch a movie, etc. You’ll be happier and better able to cope with life’s stresses if you take time to do things you enjoy!
Protect your health. Eat a balanced diet. Get enough sleep. Exercise regularly. Avoid alcohol and drugs. Follow up with your doctors regularly and take medications as prescribed.
Remember no man is an island. Ask for help when you need it. Everyone needs help at times in their lives, especially when facing new challenges. Let trusted family and friends help carry the load.
Don’t overload yourself. When you take on new responsibilities, drop some of your old ones. Ask others to step up to the plate and help.
Remember that no one can do everything. Recognize your limitations. Try to take on activities that make the most of your strengths. Ask for help with tasks that are difficult for you.
Be kind to yourself. "
