There\u2019s no downside. Plus, it can generate change across the board in your life\u2026 anywhere you direct it, in fact! If you\u2019re having trouble shifting gears from taking care of everyone else to taking care of yourself, it\u2019s time to look at self work in a new way\u2014as play. Here are three ways to do just that and incorporate some much needed me-time into your busy life in the process!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shift Your Approach<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.californiapsychics.com\/blog\/2011\/02\/tarot-astrology-aquarius-and-the-star.html\/\">Every team has a star player<\/a><\/strong>\u2014and in your life, that\u2019s you! Instead of putting everyone else first and telling yourself that you can afford to let your own needs slide (after all, you won\u2019t be letting anyone down but yourself), get your head in the game, STAT! If you want to succeed in love, at work, as a parent or in any aspect of life it\u2019s vital to be your best you. So instead of looking at your self-work as one more thing to add to your tedious to-do list, adjust your perception and instill this message in yourself as well as everyone around you: reflective, meditative \u201cme-time\u201d is good for everybody and everybody needs to take it. Not only will you taste the victory of taking control of your own life, you\u2019ll have begun to shift the energetic playing field for everyone else!<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Implement Your Strategy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now that you\u2019ve acknowledged your own need for fulfillment it\u2019s time to put your game plan into action. Prioritize taking time for your own personal growth. That doesn\u2019t mean squeezing in an hour to watch TV at night or having dinner with friends while your spouse watches the kids (though that stuff is important sometimes too), it means valuing yourself as an individual with wants, needs and dreams which need to acknowledged, evaluated and sometimes, adjusted. Balance is the goal of this game and if you can visualize how it will feel when you achieve it, you\u2019ll be eager to get started. Remember, this isn\u2019t meant to be torturous. Any activities you undertake for your own highest good should make you feel relaxed, present and reflective. Sure, you\u2019re going to shake things up when you delve deep, but struggle leads to catharsis. Which is why you should.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Have No Fear<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not all fun and games when you\u2019re facing down your demons. And while you may encounter some aspects of yourself you don\u2019t particularly like when you\u2019re totally honest with yourself \u2013 nobody\u2019s perfect after all \u2013 you will probably find that the deeper you go, the more tension you release. A good cry goes a long way to alleviating years of <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.californiapsychics.com\/blog\/2006\/11\/appropriate-anger.html\/\">pent up frustration and anger<\/a><\/strong>. Besides, what didn\u2019t kill you the first time certainly can\u2019t kill you now. The old adage is true, it can only make you stronger. So rather than running from your opponent (whether it be your own self-destructive patterns, a fear of change or anything else), recognize that you are up to the challenge of defeating it and remember: the prize\u2014a life of endless possibilities\u2014is truly worth it!<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-size: 12px\"><strong><a title=\"$1 per minute \" href=\"http:\/\/www.californiapsychics.com\/c\/c.aspx?lid=112937&amp;utm_source=NC_offer_footer&amp;utm_medium=NC_offer_footer&amp;utm_campaign=new_customer_text_offer_blog\">Exclusive offer: New customers can speak to a psychic for ONLY\u00a0$1 per minute.
