Change Starts Here

I started this self-esteem blog to make women of color feel better about themselves. Too many of us settle for less because we don't think we can have it all. I hope these blog posts will help you realize you can have it all and so much more.

Something to Think About: Selfish Time

Posted 1 year ago

Sometimes it’s OK to just think about yourself. Being a friend, sister and daughter on top of a student, can leave little time for you.

As I you read this, I am taking my own selfish time this week (I pre-scheduled this post). I haven’t done it for a whole week since right after high school graduation because this much time is only needed in extreme circumstances, but it’s good to make this time.

Being so many things to so many people can be tough. Before you completely lose yourself in other people, especially ones who bring drama into your life, take at least a day to be alone and do something for yourself, even if they are small things.

Right now, I’m probably spending my free time watching my favorite movies and reading magazines.

No texts, no calls, no Facebook, no Twitter. Just me, taking some time to get to know myself again.
