Just remember that dating is all about getting to know someone better in a pleasant environment. Devote a day to doing absolutely nothing but whatever the heck you want to do (even if that's staying in bed for hours on end). Take a class or attend a seminar that's related to something you've always been interested or wanted to try. Go to the spa for a couple of hours whenever you feel like it. Sit in a coffee shop and read for hours on end without interruption. Head to the movies without having to compromise on which one to watch. When's the last time you took your own self out on a date? If your immediate response is "that sounds awkward as hell", if you happen to be single, ask some of the wives you know how important it is and how much they envy you that you can "kick it alone" more than they are able to now that they're married (come to think of it, when I had a blog for single women, a close friend of mine shared what she misses about being single entitled " A married lady's words to single sisters". Your mind, body and spirit need you to do just that.
Don't feel guilty for setting limits in this area. Work is supposed to support your life, not take over it.
But whatever your personal faith journey is, please make sure that you make rest a top priority. Thankfully, being raised to be a Seventh-Day Sabbath observer taught me that Friday sunset through Saturday sunset was a non-work option (via Exodus 20:8-11). And then, when you're done for the day, BE DONE. Manage your time wisely so that you can complete what's on it. Start your week or day off with to-do lists. While we all need to work in order to pay the bills, it's important to remember that we have work hours (and if you're an entrepreneur, you should definitely implement some) for a reason. And don't even get me started on how many people who bust their asses are underpaid-and underappreciated-in the process. That's not my opinion that's actually the title of an article I recently read. The United States is the most overworked developed nation in the world. Do your holistic health a favor and make sure that you do so by setting hours for when your notifications are on and…when they are off.Ĥ. When You’re Away from Work…STAY AWAY FROM IT This means that you can totally do without it from time to time. All you need is food, water, air, shelter-and your faith. Social media is cool, but you don't actually need it. While that might sound crazy to some of y'all, there are articles out in cyberspace like, " Excessive Social Media Use Comparable to Drug Addiction" that confirm it is oh so very real. I've got one friend who is so addicted to her smartphone that she's basically an insomniac her sex life with her hubby is suffering as well.

The reason why we write articles on this site like, " Social Media: How To Take Back Control Of What You're Consuming", " Why Taking A Break From Social Media Is Critical For My Self-Care Routine" and " What I Learned From My Two-Month Social Media Fast" is because, who needs to be "plugged in", consuming data and talking to people ALL DAY and ALL NIGHT long? While social media does have its benefits (such as networking, brand development and getting news as quickly as it's produced), too much of anything can work against, rather than for, you.
That way, it's in the budget and you don't have to worry about spending more than you should. If you're wondering where or how to start, "tithing to yourself" (setting aside 10 percent of each paycheck) is a good starting point. And yes, every single woman on the planet should have a budget for that. Pampering is doing things like buying a pair of shoes that you don't need but you know would be killin' on you or booking a room in your favorite hotel, for the weekend, just to sleep or read in. Pampering is "to treat or gratify with extreme or excessive indulgence, kindness, or care" which means, yes, going a little over the top when it comes to doing things for yourself. I can't tell you how many times I've talked to a woman about the importance of pampering herself and she's replied with, "I don't even know what that means." For the record, taking bubble baths and getting your nails done is cool but technically that falls under the category of self-maintenance.
