It's okay to take time for yourself. We give so much of ourselves to others and we need to be fueled both physically and mentally. If we are in balance, it helps us in all our interactions.

I've also learned to no longer feel guilty if I'm invited out and don't want to go. If I start to say to myself, 'What's wrong with you that you're staying in five nights in a row to watch 'Forensic Files' instead of going out with your friends' I remind myself that it's what I need to do for myself at that point.

I often feel very guilty because of the time that I spend outside of my home and the little time that sometimes I have for my kids.

Not managing your time and making excuses are two bad habits. Don't put them both together by claiming you 'don't have the time'.

I try not to regret too much. I find that feeling guilty takes up so much of my time already.

I love time with family and friends, but completely relish time on my own when I have no agenda to follow, no to-do's, just me and time alone.

Thing is, I don't really like free time. People are always warning me that I'm going to burn out. But the truth is, the only thing that tires me out is hearing people tell me that.

Now, I don't want to get off on a rant here, but guilt is simply God's way of letting you know that you're having too good a time.

The only time I waste is time I spend doing something that, in my gut, I know I shouldn't. If I choose to spend time playing video games or sleeping in, then it's time well spent, because I chose to do it. I did it for a reason - to relax, to decompress or to feel good, and that was what I wanted to do.

I like to take my own time, and I don't like to rush. I do take time, and I have patience.
