The Benefits of Self Care

Haven't you found in life that situations and relationships are made easier if you have a better understanding of those around you (especially those closest to you)? Of course!

When is the last time that you made a list of the things that are most important to you?

Take a moment and make that list - as you do, you'll gain a better understanding of self as well as be better equipped to deal with others and the stressful situations that become part of every day life.

Sample List:
Family Time
Worship Time
Conversations with Friends and Loved Ones
Looking and Feeling my Best (Health)
Eating Right and Cooking Meals at Home


Realistically, none of us are wearing just one hat in this life. We are mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, daughters and sons, business owners and employees, etc... and when we are so busy juggling those many titles and the responsibilities that go with them, we sometimes lose sight of not only our professional goals, but we can lose sight of 'self' too. The further away we stray from what is important at our core, the more difficult day to day activities can become. We need to take time for ourselves and what is important to us. As we give ourselves this gift of time, we will find ourselves better equipped to give others what they need.

REALLY Relaxing

Today, the Relax Consulting office closed a smidge early. We did this so I could relax - no pun intended. I've been experiencing some neck strain, and earlier in the week I had such a headache that I swore the entire county was spinning (brought me immediately back to the summer between 2nd and 3rd grade and a bad experience of nachos coupled with the tilt o whirl at the county fair...it was ugly).

I visited a friend, Leah Strutz, from Take Time Therapeutic Massage (http://www.amtamembers.com/leahstrutz) and had the most relaxing and enjoyable hour. Leah is a true professional and I very much appreciate the time she spent with me today. Now I'm just trying to figure out how I can justify and hour long massage every week...hmmmm.....

Relax Consulting can help business owners find time to relax and Leah can help Relax Consulting find time to Relax - sounds like a great partnership in the making! Call Leah today and schedule some time for yourself: 920-901-3573 or complete the form on her website: http://www.amtamembers.com/leahstrutz/contact-me
