@Chels TOTALLY. It's just so hard we get going with life and then forget, oh wait, those are the things I need/want/desire. It's so important to our health and well-being, even if it's something small like “garden once a week,” or “go to yoga,” or “have a phone date with my best friend,” etc. It keeps us in check I think – no matter where we are in life.

This was great- and I think I go through periods of making time for the things I love and then totally ignoring them….it's a serious see-saw with me. The things that I know I NEED are yoga, sweating, family time, friend time, time to sing…..time to sleep- which I neglect all too often, and yes, definitely time to be alone….to travel- which I know that I currently don't make enough time for. I also know that one MASSIVE thing is making time everyday to do something little, plant a seed somewhere that could flourish and make my life more abundant, whether that's with a friendship, or a future step closer to my dreams coming true….I jsut have to make sure I make time for it, but I don't make it my whole existence- otherwise I miss the present time I have.

@Jamie That's awesome – sounds like your post-college life is unfolding nicely. It is SO different from college, isn't it?

It's just important to have outlined what you need and want – it makes for a happier and more satisfied life, I think. Thanks for sharing, dear.

Great post, Grace. I'm finally in a spot where I am settled into both of my jobs and my new apartment and can actually start making time for the things that are important to me. Many of them are identical to your list. I've started heading to the gym again (the goal is 4x a week, still getting there!), putting in as much effort as possible at work, coming home to pre-planned meals so I spend minimal time in the kitchen and still have wonderful dinners, finding time and economical ways to hang out with the boyfriend and other friends, and reading before bed. It's so relaxing and a perfect way to unwind from the craziness that is life. It's nice to see other people making time for the things they love too

@Patrick You're right, making time for blogging is a big part of it. I just wrote that post on accountability last week because I think about it often (I've been blogging for 2 years).

@David Your Bulldog…always, right?

My Bulldog. Starting right…now.

For the next 30 minutes. That is where I'll be – couch cuddling my little chunk of meat. It's simply the best part my day.
