I am sure we would all agree that we are very busy people. We have so many demands in our lives with trying to balance work life, home life and personal “me” life.
I do not know about you but for me it seems that the personal “me” life is usually the last to get attention. Yet, when we make time for our self, it will help us to accomplish and balance our home and work life better.
It is proven that we can accomplish more by taking time out for relaxation. Sounds too good to be true, but it is. When we are stressed and under pressure we use up our energy, which may be why at the end of a day that has been stressful we are exhausted. Even when you have not been physically busy, it is stress burns us out.
