RUNNING ON EMPTY

Today I had to go get my hair did! It was a hot raggedy mess. LOL   I was soooooooooo glad to get in that chair to get my hair done.  While on the way I glanced at my gas meter to see it was almost on E. I knew however, that I had enough to get me to the salon.  That got me to thinking how often we run ourselves into the ground until we are running on empty. Especially this time of the year.  We run around like chickens without heads. from Thanksgiving until the New Year we are ripping and running. Well it's time to make a change. Let's start the new year with a new frame of mind. One that will allow us to take better care of ourselves without feeling guilty.  Each year I write out goals I want to accomplish for the year, its a fabulous way to stay on track in accomplishing things for your life.   One of the things it took me some time to learn was to slow down so I could gather my thoughts. I once heard someone say you can always be busy and never accomplish anything.  How sad but true, so if I have to slow way down and yet accomplish one or two things as oppose to being forever busy and accomplishing anything I choose the former.  How many times or days do you go to bed only to wake up tired?   If you are carrying more luggage under your eyes than the trunk of your car you my dear are running on empty.  Why does it take us being flat on our backs to realize we are over doing things?  Is the only time you can relax or slow down is to be sick? That's sad and unhealthy!  I urge you Divas please stop running on empty.  Find a quiet time for yourself. Listen to music, take a long hot soothing bath with some candles and a glass of wine.  That's not expensive nor is it something just for the movies.  And please for God's sake stop thinking you can't treat yourself to such things unless it's involving a Man! Screaming Snap out of it!.  Now this is in no way a shoop shoop (waiting to exhale moment)  It's just a call to action.  We have (29) days left to this year.  Let's start making plans now for a FABULOUS New Year.   Are you ready willing and able to start your second half.  I know I am.   Let's Get It Divas!

Be blessed, Diva Val
