We live in a busy world, and carving out “you” time on your to-do list is often low on the hierarchy of priorities. However, making sure that you have “you” time is essential to leading a healthier, more balanced, more positive life. Of course, making time for yourself – especially when you have a hectic schedule – is easier said than done. Here’s a look at some ways that you can begin prioritizing the “you” time in your schedule. 

“No” is both the simplest and one of the most difficult words in the English language to say. This little declaration may pass easily off the lips, but getting it out can sometimes require a great mental feat of strength. That’s especially true if the person you’re saying “no” to is your boss, your spouse, your child, or your best friend. 

What does it mean to be “balanced,” to find “peace”? These things sound all well and good, but most of us barely manage to keep it all together as we go about our daily lives. Who has time to think about all of that when there are bills to pay, families to take care of, and relationships to maintain? 

Trying to get fit and lose weight is a frustrating process to begin with. When it comes time to measure your progress, the weight loss process only becomes more frustrating. There’s no worse feeling in the world than putting days – or even weeks – worth of effort in only to step on the scale and be faced with seemingly dismal results.
