When there is no time for me - Time for me

 Today, I will talk about how quickly we forget about ourselves.

We often say to ourselves: "When I have more time, I will take it for myself."

But that "more time" never comes. There is always something that overtakes us. Obligations that seem more important. People we put before ourselves. Days that slip by in a rush and chores.

And so another week comes when you don't stop. When you don't listen to your body because you think it will hold out. When you put off your desires because "it's not the right moment." And only when you are already empty, when fatigue hurts you to the bone, do you remember: I forgot about myself.

Time for yourself is not a reward that you deserve only when everything else is done. It is not a luxury that you can only afford on special occasions. It is a basic need. It is breath. Just like sleep and food. Without it, we lose ourselves—slowly, quietly, almost imperceptibly.

When you run out of time for yourself, you start to lose touch with yourself. Your thoughts become faster than your heart. Your body cries out for a break, but you don't hear it. Your joy dulls because it is covered by a layer of responsibility. And suddenly, things that you could easily solve in peace begin to weigh on you.

But something magical happens when you take it anyway. It doesn't take much. Sometimes a walk where you just listen to your footsteps is enough. Fifteen minutes with a book that takes you somewhere else. A cup of tea that you drink slowly. It doesn't matter how long, what matters is that there is a space that is truly yours.

That's when you start to return to yourself. In that silence that shows you that you are not just tasks and obligations, but a person who needs warmth, peace, and your own little joys. When you take time for yourself, you are no less caring towards others—in fact, you are closer to them because you give them from a place of fullness, not emptiness.

So today I want to remind you: don't wait for the right moment. You have to take time for yourself, because otherwise something else will always steal it away. And don't forget – you're not being selfish when you take care of yourself. Selfishness is expecting to give endlessly without ever filling yourself up.

Hugs,

Eva

If you have ever forgotten about yourself, let this post gently remind you that you are not alone. And if you know someone who always gives themselves to others, share this post with them – maybe today they will need this reminder.
