Take time for you!

With the new year just starting off, it’s the perfect time to start thinking about ways to embrace healthier habits. One of the easiest goals to set for the new year is committing to scheduling more personal time.

In today’s busy world we’re constantly exerting our energy and draining ourselves. Every now and then, we need to take a break from the chaos and practice some self-care.

While some may be quick to say putting your own needs first sounds selfish, there is a vast amount of research that shows taking time for yourself is a necessity to a healthy life and can help reduce stress and anxiety.

Finding what works for you
Personal time can be different for everyone. What you do for yourself is something that only you can determine.
Setting aside at least 30 minutes of “me time” is a great way to reset your mind and body. But you should take more time when you can. There are benefits of giving yourself permission to do something you’ve been wanting to do but haven’t because you’re too busy.

Maybe it’s as simple as going on a date night, going to the movies or attending a cooking class you’ve been wanting to try.
Or it could be a trip you’ve been wanting to take but haven’t been able to plan. Getting away for a week, or even a weekend, might be just the thing you need!
There are lots of ways to help find the best travel options and plan for things on a budget, so if travel is something that has been on your wish list, make 2019 the year to do it!

Smart ways to help plan a trip.

• It’s never to early to start planning. Give yourself a budget and start a travel fund now.
• Set flight alerts on your phone so that you are notified when the prices for flights go down.
• If you can, make it a road trip. A lot of great adventures happen on the road!
• Plan activities outdoors. Mother Nature doesn’t charge admission!
• Book directly through hotels to get the best deals. A lot of third-party sites charge additional hidden fees, so you’re guaranteed to get the best deal going direct!

 
​Don’t Wait!
No matter what your treat will be, there’s never a better time to start something than now.
Taking the first step in planning something, or just going out and doing it is the best way to avoid getting trapped in the chaos again.
Don’t let you get pushed to back burner again, give yourself the time, and do it guilt free!
