I caught myself using this phrase the other day.
It got me thinking, the language we use is indicative of the state of our minds and our actions.
Steal, it’s not a positive word is it!
I certainly know I’ve felt guilty for standing up for myself, I’ve been criticised for going against the grain and disagreeing at times.
It’s only now, in my forties, that I truly understand I deserve time and space for myself, to do what I want to do in whichever way I want to do it. I’m not a malicious person but I’ve definitely been frustrated by the hypocrisy of close people in my life. Rules for thee and rules for me sort of thing.
We all need time to absorb what’s happening in life and there are myriad ways we can do that.
Carve out time for yourself. It’s your right.
