Stealing Some Time

Wednesday, January 18th, 2012

Whether your mind’s been cluttered with thoughts of a new home security system or whether or not you fed the dog, it’s hard to take time out for yourself. Here are a few ways to sneak a few minutes with your thoughts on a weekly (and perhaps daily!) basis
Take out the trash: Seriously. Even if it’s only for a minute or two, volunteering to do something as simple as taking out the trash can get you a few minutes alone with your mind. Milk the time you’re outside!
Turn off the radio: Whether your commute is 5 minutes or 50 minutes, take at least one day a week to turn off the radio and be alone with your thoughtsyou’ll be surprised how much you have to think about!
Go for a Walk: A lunchtime stroll or taking the dog out both provide great ways to get some much-needed alone time. Whether you love to run or hate to exercise a walk is good for you and it’s a nice way to steal some “me” time in an otherwise hectic week.
