Finding Balance

Sometimes, it can be hard to find time for yourself. Between work, family and friends, there just aren’t enough hours in the day! I think a lot of women believe that setting aside ‘me’ time means dedicating an entire day or weekend to yourself. And if you think about it that way, then yes, it is hard to find time for yourself. Especially if you’re a mom (which I am not, just to be clear.) But you don’t have to carve out hours and hours to find time for yourself. Finding time for yourself shouldn’t be an added stressor!

Instead, try setting aside a few hours a week. Take some time to simply do your nails. Or go on a walk. Catch up on some shows, or do one of those creepy sheet masks, or do both at the same time! Setting aside time to pamper yourself or just be by yourself is so, so, SO important. Discovering a way to relax and just enjoy your own company is necessary. Even if you have to knock some chores out! Have time for a face mask, but not your shows? Throw the mask on while you vacuum or fold the laundry! That mask is solely for you, and that’s the point.

Deciding to make yourself happy is the easiest way to stay happy.

100happydays Challenge

Happy Wednesday, SASSY‘s! I wanted to start the day by telling you about this new challenge I’ve signed up for. It’s the 100 Days of Happiness challenge.

The challenge is pretty simple – register here, and then upload one photo a day for 100 days of something that makes you happy. Sounds easy right? Believe it or not, 71% of people fail the challenge, claiming that lack of time was the reason. 71% of people are too busy to find 1 thing a day to be happy about.

So, in an effort to be more positive, I’ve taken this challenge. Starting today, I will be posting 1 photo of something that makes me happy using the hashtag #100happydays here and on Instagram. If you’d like to follow my challenge, you can find my Instagram by clicking here. I’ll accept your follow request so you can take this journey with me!

I encourage everyone to join me on this challenge! That is, if you think you have the time 😉
