Just this week,\u00a0one of my clients and I were discussing \u201cTime Out.\u201d What do the words \u201ctime out\u201d remind you of? Parents telling kids to stay put? Punishment?<\/p>\n

If \u201ctime out\u201d makes you think of something negative, allow me to explain how you can put a positive spin on it. Most women feel overwhelmed <\/a>with being home makers, cooks, chauffeurs, moms, wives, daughters, caretakers, career women, dog walkers, and who knows what else. And somewhere in the midst of all this, they must make time\u00a0to get their hair done, shop, exercise to stay fit, and look good for their husband\u00a0\u2013\u00a0maybe\u00a0even\u00a0keep up with the Joneses.<\/p>\n

If women also\u00a0happen to be stay-at-home moms, they\u00a0spend all day\u00a0with children if their husband is off\u00a0at work, making\u00a0their life\u2019s focal point the\u00a0kids, the home, and chores. There arises a need forme- time<\/em>. But when they finally have a chance to take a\u00a0few hours to go out and make the most of me-time,\u00a0a lot of women cannot enjoy themselves because\u00a0of guilt: guilt for leaving the kids with their\u00a0parents or a nanny. Many women therefore stop giving themselves Time Out \u2013 and what I really mean is Time to Self.<\/p>\n

So if you are a mom, why not turn \u201ctime outs\u201d (for your\u00a0kids and\u00a0for yourself) into something positive? Starting today, begin giving kids Time to Self, so they are free to do as they wish and play.\u00a0Tell them that they have 30 minutes to\u00a0themselves and Mommy has the same time to herself. Perhaps you can start with 15 minutes at a time. Either way, start today<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Honor yourself and\u00a0use your alone time to relax, read a magazine, or\u00a0take a stroll for no reason. If you teach children that you need time to yourself, they will eventually understand\u00a0that \u201ctime out\u201d\u00a0is not a negative thing. That in, in fact, can be a good thing\u00a0for the\u00a0entire\u00a0household. It can validate your needs and wants. In the long run, it will make you more patient, more relaxed when yourhusband gets home, and allow you to let go of the guilt of having free time in the first place.<\/p>\n

You can always increase your \u201ctime to self\u201d upon establishing a loving and positive scenario. A win-win!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
