Fun fact…
you’re allowed time out …
who knew?! 🤷🏽♀️
You are allowed guilt free, time out, do what what makes you happy, free time.
I know right!? It’s a crazy concept, you get to ditch the day in, day out routine and do something you enjoy.
Wether you are a parent or not, we all need to remove ourselves from the daily grind and recharge our batteries in what ever way see fit -within reason of course lol.
My time outs usually consist of estuary walks and 6am gym sessions, I also enjoy social outings containing a shit load of food and a f**k load of gossip.
They all compliment each other quite nicely, some may even say doing one of these activities completely undoes one of the other activities…but, I don’t care cos it’s my f**ken time 😂
Taking time out from kids, work, husbands, wives, school, study and other commitments is essential to our happiness tanks.
It’s not that we are unhappy, or dislike our responsibilities, it’s facing the reality that sometimes, we need a break from -reality.
A break doesn’t become a priority above anyone or anything reliant on you, however you must prioritise yourself when needed.
A meal out, a smoothie sesh, a wee walk round the track, a sneak eating mission, anything that distracts you for that hour or two, long enough to let your shoulders drop and let that tense breath out.
It’s called being unselfishly selfish -and your entitled to it.

#timetobreath
We get caught in this trap of guilt, thinking we are being selfish because we ignore the washing, we haven’t been to the grocery store yet, we haven’t put the bin out, we fed the kids noodles…again, we still have work piling up, we have so much to do in general, yet we are willing to leave it all behind to ‘greedily’ grab a coffee or a beer with a mate for a bit.
Wtf?! The sheer fact that we put ourselves in this restrictive mind set is f**ken ludacris.
I’ve been guilty of feeling guilty,
no one is telling me no,
no one is saying I can’t go,
no one but me…
…me and that silly little shit stain conscience in the back of my big head.
F**k that.
I make a point now of getting out of the house and taking a breather, my happy tank gets fuller, my mind gets clearer, I relieve my stress and rid of any pressures I have surrounding me. And majority of the time I get a good f**ken feed out of it 👌🏼
So go ahead, grab a snack, have a chat, put yourself first -take a deep refreshing breath, and follow it up with a solo car ride home with a front seat ticket to your own sing along show. Belt out that favourite song at the top of your lungs…
All…the…way…home
Rested, refreshed, ready for reality all over again
-unselfishly selfish 🙌🏽 🎤 🎶
