S22E3: Me Time Makeover: Why You Should Prioritize Time With Self

Cultivating H.E.R. Space: Uplifting Conversations for the Black Woman

Hey lady! We’ve all heard about the importance of self-care, but how often do we hear about “me time”? You know that elusive section of time where it’s just you and you? The time you spend with yourself is critical to your continued evolution, development, and growth no matter what season of life you find yourself in. However, finding that time can be a different story when you have a full life of demands and responsibilities. Terri and Dr. Dom can relate and have tips and techniques to help you bake in me time so that your cup stays full and you can keep the most important relationship you have, the one with yourself, healthy and vibrant.
Check out the Aftershow for a list of positive affirmations that you can carry with you throughout the day. And, remember sis, you’re worthy of the best, so be sure you’re giving yourself just that!
Tips for cultivating Me Time:
1. Quality over quantity:
· Whether it's five minutes or five hours, what's most important is doing something that pours into you.
2. Set boundaries to guard your time
· Set alarms or timers to keep yourself honest about your time.
· Communicate your needs with others
3. Make sure it is SOLO time
· The time with self is different from being lonely; reframe how you look at time alone.
4. Be flexible
· You don’t have to do the same things all the time

Quote of the Day:
"You cannot pour from an empty cup. Take time to nourish yourself and treat you the way you want others to treat you."
