Take Time to Pamper Yourself
Author: Lisa Tuttle

Her dog needs fed. Sunday School lessons await her attention. Dirty dishes and laundry haunt her dreams. The boss wants her to work through the weekend, and her children need help with their science fair projects. With responsibilities to family, work, and church crowding in, taking personal time to pamper herself ranks last on her “to do” list. And yet aiming a little T.L.C. her own way may enable her to accomplish more than she would by pushing to the edge of her endurance.

Women today carry a heavy load of responsibility. Juggling work, family, and church activities keeps them moving from dawn to dusk and beyond.

If you’ve experienced an out-of-control schedule, you know the stress becomes overwhelming. When you are trying to cram three days of work into one, taking personal time is the last thing you consider. And yet, that is exactly what you should do.

As a writer and editor, I am frequently accosted by deadlines. I have learned from painful experience that during these demanding times, I must make a greater effort than usual to take time for me.

Three years ago I attempted to manage a schedule that would crush even The Bionic Woman. From early morning to late at night, I moved at full speed, determined to meet the impossible goals I’d set for myself. I managed to maintain the pace for several months. Then one day my mind and body went on strike.

After months of neglecting my personal needs for relaxation, depression and fatigue overwhelmed me so that I could no longer perform even the most mundane tasks around my house. Nearly a year passed before I could handle a normal schedule.

While I accomplished an impressive amount of work during the few months I ran on high speed, I did nothing for the next year. I’d have accomplished more if I’d set a reasonable pace, one I could maintain for the long run.

Part of that pace includes scheduling time in a busy schedule to relax and refresh the body, soul, and spirit. Daily devotionals are a must. When I take time to ask God to guide my schedule, everything seems to flow more smoothly.

God had a purpose in ordering a Sabbath. In resting one day each week, women have time to enjoy their families and rejuvenate. In addition to rest on the Sabbath, I suggest a monthly dinner with friends, long walks, the occasional leisurely bubble bath, or other activities that offer a few hours’ respite from the daily grind.

When your body begs to slow down but your schedule won’t, remind yourself that you also have the responsibility to take care of you. So take time this week to pamper yourself. You deserve it.
