When’s the best time to take care of yourself?

How about now?

No time?

How about five minutes?

What if you committed five minutes out of every waking hour to take care of yourself?

Five minutes of stretching.

Five minutes of deep breathing.

Five minutes of walking.

Five minutes of dreaming.

Look, the truth is that rarely is any individual so busy that every minute of every hour is spoken for. So why don’t you capture some of your minutes that aren’t already committed and invest them in yourself?

Come on. Five minutes is less than ten percent of an hour.

You’re worth at least that, aren’t you?

If you don’t believe your health and well-being matter now, when will you?

Take a stand for yourself today.

Set an alarm if you have to.

Put a stake in the ground today and commit five minutes of every hour for yourself.

Try it for a few days and see how you feel. If after a week or so you don’t feel any different, you can always go back to taking no time for yourself.
