Make room for your well-being
Wellness includes physical and mental health. Make room to pause, reflect, and pay attention to what your body is telling you.
Muse You Can Use
Does your calendar have room for you?
We make appointments for work, family and everyone who depends on us. Yet our own needs often get whatever time is left. Look at your week: does it reflect what matters to you, or only what others need from you?
Put it into practice: Choose one thing you have been postponing for yourself—a quiet meal, time outdoors, a conversation with someone you trust, or an appointment you need to make. Give it a specific time on your calendar this week. If that time gets interrupted, reschedule it instead of crossing it off.
A question to carry with you: What would change if I treated a commitment to myself as seriously as a commitment to someone else?
