Your Day
I made the executive decision recently that there is one day of the week designated for me to do whatever I want. With the exception of rare circumstances, there is one day each week that I have set aside to not think about anything to do with teaching fitness, acting, my video podcast, blogging, my website, bills or any business related emails. That one day is only for fun and relaxation. And that is starting tomorrow so I’ll let you know how it goes next week.
Can you take a day for yourself? If you can’t take a full day, can you set aside an afternoon or an hour or two? Schedule it on your calendar and treat it like you would an appointment with a client.
As for me, I’m looking forward to my day tomorrow!
Thanks to viroga.com for the picture.
You’re so right, and I applaud you for “putting your foot down” so to speak!
I did this for the first time last Thursday (but then I ended up blogging!) I left work early, on a “mental health” time-off request. Other than blogging, I did absolutely nothing. I hung out with my kitten, watched tv, read a few chapters of a book I’ve been meaning to start, and then packed my bags for my weekend in Vegas. It was SO NICE.
Thanks for the reminder! I hope your “Dina’s Day” is successful and you get to repeat it often! I may follow your example!
