Almost there..Take care of yourself.

I can't believe October is almost done! Where has the time gone?!

This has been a long month but short at the same time. Know what I mean? The school weeks have flown by and I can't believe we're pretty much into November this coming week and pretty soon, it'll be Thanksgiving! WOW... It blows my mind! I've got so much to do before the end of the school semester, which is in December this year now. Our school district has changed the semester schedule to better accommodate learning (i.e. make finals before Christmas break instead of after--go figure). But that also means altering lesson plans for everybody! I'm fine with it but I did have a little freak out when I realized I wasn't quite done with chapter 2 and I still have 2 chapters to cover! Yikes! It'll get done though.

Fortunately, with all the fast craziness of the fall semester, I've managed to find time for myself to keep my cup full. I find time each day to get my workout in and to take care of my mindset. I listen to mindset improvement literature through my Audible app on my drive to and from school. I turn on my music when I get into my workout clothes and go into my at home gym. I get my workout done and then I'm done for the evening. It's amazing what you can do when you set that time aside for yourself. It's extremely important to do so! If you don't fill your cup, you can't fill other people's cups! It's impossible!

It's especially crucial for you to take time for yourself during the holiday craziness. Family time demands a lot of us, and if we don't take time for ourselves, the family time will drain us so quickly and we won't feel adequately rested. So, take the time. Take 10 minutes...take 20 minutes...take a bubble bath...read a book that you've been wanting to read for a long time... do whatever it is that fills your cup and makes you feel whole. Your body and mind will thank you for it and you'll be able to give more to your family!
