Take Time For Serenity

In order to live our best lives, we must activate our inner selves. It's not uncommon for us us to negate the importance of time for self, for contemplation, relaxation and enjoyment because we are so busy doing for others. But we should turn inward on a regular basis. It is rewarding in so many ways. You have every right to nurture yourself first, before doing anything else. It is not a selfish act. It is a healing, empowering and sustaining one.

If you find it difficult to give yourself permission to take time for inner work, it may be that you are not seeing the link between self-care and more joyous life. Each day that we nourish our spirit, we live anew. We become stronger, more able, more fully developed. Our spiritual "bones" become fortified, giving us the strength to handle any trial and stand up for ourselves.
