If you do not take care of yourself no one will.

There is a saying I try to live by and I have to because I am a nice person and if I don't live by it I will always be behind in life and the saying is:
One must secure themselves before they can secure another.
It applies to EVERYTHING for example: don't offer someone else your time, when you don't even have time for yourself, don't offer someone a cookie if there is only one-eat the damn cookie, etc. etc.
I notice that whenever I shut myself down to other people to "give myself a break" I get some attitude from people, but hey-if you don't take time to yourself you are bound to lose your mind then you will be good to no one. If you feel like you need it-take a break.. If you feel guilty-eat some cookies or ice cream and turn to Lifetime TV-then you will see some women who should really feel guilty for what they are doing.

No, I agree with you, you need some "me" time. You need to take care of yourself so you can help take care of others that rely on you. It's just life.

You should Honor and find love for yourself so that others will respect you,feeling guilty is only what you think of other peoples judgments,(people who probably don't know you anyway).Its Christmas time find some time to relax.

I'm used to being constanly busy, and sometimes I do feel guilty when I have 'me time' because even while I'm relaxing I'm thinking of everything I'm going to have to do. You just have to tell yourself to shut up when that happens. You'll be able to handle everything easier when you've relaxed.

As long as you fulfill all your obligations to your family, wanting and taking time for yourself is not selfish. Everyone needs time to relax and unwind.
