Making You A Priority

This Sparked Me!

You have to make yourself a priority. Time for you is just as important as any other appointment on your calendar. I have penciled in appointments with myself to make sure I get the time I need.

    Thanks for the reminder to put me first. This month I officially started MY spark diet for ME! I have the month off from work and thought now is the time to make it about me! Without having to work, I can spend time with my daughter, husband, keep the house, but also squeeze in time for me. Time for me to establish a work ou, time for me to plan my shopping and menus based off the foods on my SP diet. I hope the 4 weeks I have off to focus on MY needs can help establish the routine I need before I go back to work so it can be continued.

    I am just started to think about myself first sometimes. For the last 23 years I have put kids and husband first and now thanks to the encouraging stories/blogs I have read on SP I am starting to put myself first.
