What are you doing for YOURSELF?

By
Real Estate Agent with Vintage Shoppe Realty

Yes, you read it correctly... You are a REALTOR, probably a parent or a grandparent, a spouse or significant other, a sibling, and the list goes on. You are probably involved, on top of your family activities and events, in community activities and events, office activities and events, and the list goes on and on. But what are you doing for YOU? Most likely we are attracted to our industry by our love of serving and helping others, and too often, in our passion for taking care of everyone around us, we forget to take care of ourselves. Find something that you can do just for you, maybe it's a massage, maybe going on a run, or a bike ride, a yoga class, an evening reading a book with a glass of wine, a pedicure, or maybe just something that you find yourself saying...."I would really like to .....(fill in the blank), if I just had the time". Well, you make the time to take care of everyone else, make the time to take care of you. Just make sure that whatever you decide to do in that endeavor, it's all about YOU!

Your right about finding the time for me.  It seems to get to the bottom of the list which most of the time gets missed.  I am trying to do more of the me things as it gives me more energy and excitement so I can be more productive.  Thanks for the reminder.

Suzanne - Thanks for the reminder. I too often get so wrapped up in our business that I am never left with any time for myself. I really need to do better before it's too late. - Mike
