When you don't have time to yourself, it's harder to take care of yourself. And then when you don't

fill yourself in your body, it's even harder to feel like yourself mentally too. And then it's next

to impossible to even be yourself as you take care of the responsibilities, which is quite often

relationships that matter most to you.

Hi, this is Monica Packer and you're listening to About Progress, where we are about

progress made practical.

When was the last time you took some real time for yourself?

I'm not talking about a quick girl's night out or an hour in the bubble bath.

I'm talking about at least a few

hours to do whatever you really wanted to do, all separate from your responsibilities, the only

purpose of this time being about reconnecting to yourself. As strongly as I feel that women need to

take better care of themselves, I feel that that includes

time. This is why I am a big fan of my annual Me Day, where I take a few hours up to a full day

just for myself. It all started with the very first do-something list I ever made way back in

has carried on. But it's not just about whatever I do in a few hours to a day. It's what it does

for me and by extension, everyone connected to me. In today's episode, you are going to hear me

break down what a me day is, why it matters

that we take time to ourselves, and the actual brass tacks on how to make a me day doable

for you, whether it's a few hours or full day, we all need a separation from our responsibilities

and to take time for ourselves. This is an OnCore episode
