You'll have to take the time for yourself. Take it from something else. Like maybe... Let Betsy sit for one day while YOU take a minute for yourself. That's the only way I know of.

 

Welcome to the real world Josh.

 

Yep, that is the truth...when I got my little puppy, my "me time" was very limited between working, and doing stuff around the house, etc. (I can only imagine how it would be if I had had a human child!)...but I love her so much, and it is worth it. As she gets a little older, I can take more time on my own, and have been doing so. I agree with Matt though...maybe taking a little time from Betsy, and giving it to yourself may be a good thing. It is a matter of deciding what your priorities are...not always an easy task, but one that becomes more important as we get older. Good luck!

 

I find that the older I get the less time I have...

 

I work full time, have 2 teenagers, a husband, a dog and 3 cats...and especially this time of the year I am overwhelmed much of the time. I find me time in little bits during the day. If work is really sucky I go sit in my car during my break or I go for a walk during lunch. At home if I get a chance I can relax online a bit. I read for a few minutes each night before going to sleep to calm my mind. Sometimes just closing your eyes for a minute and doing some slow deep breathing helps. It isn't easy that is for sure! Just carve out little bits of time during the day and see if that helps. If it is not enough, then give yourself more down time until you feel better.

 

Peace WE,

true about all of us WE so dont feel alone but i am looking at getting a parts car.presents are in the last stages before sending Mery X Mas, Peace, Love, Harmony, and 57 Chevys!

i know its a good thing to have a job restoring a car and school because it just makes it easier later on. and the rude and mean people at school dont relaly know it but they are really making it easier for me because it helps me form ways to ignore and them and get used to working with them. there are 2 people at work that drive me nuts. Nicole and Hope. but i am learning to deal with them. so when my car is restored it will be all worth it. get a trailer and hit the road and see if there is any anti war/anti bush protests goin on and get thsoe often used posters sitting on the couch in the back of the trailer and hit the street on foot holding hands chanting and holding signs then get me and the people i car pooled to the protest back in the car and head elsewhere!

Oh wow! upr! i had no idea you were still here!

 

I just dont have a job :H

I need one tho

Maybe if you made a schedule for yourself, you could find out what times you have to do stuff?

 

Always remember, you are always with yourself, working studying, persuing your pasion or hobbie.
You are never alone as you keep yourself company.
thinking is the greatest gift we have.
all up to you what you think about, gives you the peace of time to yourself -
Merry Christmas

 

I don't know, maybe it's just me. I think all those things you mentioned above that is filling up your time is all for you sweetie, school is deffinatly for you and work is for you so you can have money to restore Old Betsy which is for you also.
Isn't it strange how we get caught up in the doing and forget the why of it. If you can take five minutes and be still inside you will feel much better. Think of the thingss that take up your time as blessings, some have nothing to do and become disgruntled with themselves and their goals become lost by forgetting the doing and never seeing the why. Just take 5 sweetie.. Blessed Be.

 

I'm with earthfog, make everything you do be time for you. Simply do what you love!
