Not selfish at all - if you find the time to relax, you'll feel less stressed out and will be a better care giver to your family. So really, if you manage to have a nice long soak for an hour with a good book, you're doing it for them, not you.destresserai wrote:What with working, hubby & two teenagers, being a carer for two elderly relatives, my only resolution is to try and find some "me-time".
I know this sounds fairly selfish but some days my head just seems to spin and before I know another day has passed!

Re: New Years Resolutions
I try not to do New Year Resolutions as i'm all too quick to put pressure on myself...instead i have goals for the year :
Join the weight watchers thread again ..ha ha again
Sell off the big pile of Power Rangers and Transformers that my son has decided that he no longer wants before March
Walk my Cocker Spaniel Puppy three times a day instead of two. He will love it and it will help to get me fit too
Read all the Richard & Judy list of Spring books (10) before the summer list is announced, them summer ones for Autumn etc
Start a facebook 'Like' campaign for the cinema project (mid January with the local paper ) to gain support and numbers before we go for a Lottery Grant to take the project a stage further...excited to look at funding in mid 2013
Be confident and be organised and not put myself last
Happy New Year everyone

Re: New Years Resolutions
Again, more like goals than a resolution:
Get body fit again.
Try not to take things so seriously.
Learn to enjoy myself more.
Take more risks.
Finish uni with a degree 2:1 or higher preferably.
Go to Italy as reward for the above.
Go camping to Wales.
Get a full time job.
Get published.
Go to Scotland for Hogmonnay.

Exactly you do need time to yourself otherwise you can't function properly and its not selfish at all its self preservation.asamaic wrote:Not selfish at all - if you find the time to relax, you'll feel less stressed out and will be a better care giver to your family.

Me too and it really shocked me (on the first two) as you come across as very confident and organised running the Selby Film club with PeteYork etc but I know that you are always looking out for others. Your dog looks absolutely adorablejojojoanne wrote:Allsinging wrote:Be confident and be organised and not put myself last

rawr_xoxo you have a lot of goals/resolutions which is wonderful - I too love to have lots of goals and when you get published I will b*y your book, I've seen your pictures and read your stories which are brilliant (it must be wonderful to be so talented - I'm still waiting to find a talent
What a lovely resolution to make as it will open so many opportunities to youLivi92 wrote:To be more confident and stop worrying so much!
