There was a time when most people were so focused on their careers, their families, and their hobbies that they didn’t have time for themselves. Our culture has shifted a bit, and we are so busy, it’s not surprising that our priorities are shifting also.
We all know that it is important to take time for ourselves, but we just seem to not have the time. So we go about doing the things we spend time doing, and that makes us happy. It’s easy to see why it is that a person that spends their days on the computer and their evenings on the internet is more likely to be happy than one who only has time for themselves.
So, how do we make time for ourselves? Well, its an interesting question, and one that I have found myself going back and forth on, in my own home. The answer is that no matter what we do, we have to get our priorities in line, and that requires some serious thinking.
The first step is to decide what you spend your time doing. I would start by looking at your lifestyle choices. I have a friend who is a stay-at-home mom and who has been married five years. When she was pregnant with her first child, she told me she was going to go to work and have kids. “You don’t understand,” she said. “I don’t like the idea of being tied down to a job.
When my mom asked me if I would be working, I immediately said, “No.” But when I asked her about her job, she explained to me that it was a tough job and that it had always been an important part of her life. When she was a teenager, she had a job at a beauty parlor, but after she was pregnant with our second child, she started working for the city.
I remember being a teenager and thinking it would be very cool to be a part of the corporate world, but it never seemed to work out for me. I never really knew why. I always felt that my mom would be a better choice for any child that would come into the world, but I never felt like I would be any more of a good parent than I already was.
At the time, I was having a baby, and I was a single parent. I just didn’t know it. I wanted my own kids, and I wanted my kids to be happy and healthy. I think it just took me a while to figure out that I wasn’t as important to the universe as I thought I was when I was a kid. I didn’t even know that I had a choice.
I mean I tried to convince myself that I had a choice, but I really dont. I just did what I wanted. I wanted to be a doctor, so I started a career in medicine. I wanted to go and hang out with my friends, so I started doing that too. And I wanted to make money, so I made a career in business. None of the above was what I wanted, but I made it so I could try.
It took me a long time to realize that what I wanted wasn’t always the most important thing to me. The truth is, I thought I had a lot more control over where my life and career would go, but it was all just a matter of how much I wanted it.
When I started trying to figure out what it was that I wanted, I started to realize that I was just trying to make the most important things in my life. You don’t have to be a super-geek or even a super-nerd to realize that we all have different “things” we want. We all want different things, and we all want to make the most important things in our lives, but they have to be important to us in some way.
