You may have read in our social media posts and blogs that at Tiny Moments, we place great emphasis on taking a moment for yourself. But why do we find this theme so important? I'd like to share my personal motivation for founding Tiny Moments and how taking a moment for myself has positively changed my life.
Honestly, sharing my personal story feels quite vulnerable. It's much easier to promote a product or write a blog about a relevant topic. Nevertheless, I believe it's important to share my story so that you understand why it is my mission to inspire busy people to take a moment for themselves.
Who am I?
I am Marlene and I live in IJsselstein. I am an enthusiastic and ambitious person who loves hard work and achieving results to make a positive impact. My interest in personal development has always been great. In the first years of my career, the focus was mainly on professional growth, and from my thirties onwards, I began to delve more into my personal development. This was partly due to a challenging period in my life, for which I am grateful in hindsight, as it gave me many valuable insights.
Discovery of mindfulness
During this period, I discovered mindfulness. Back then, I had no idea what it entailed, but my curiosity was piqued. The idea of 'a moment for yourself' was also new to me at the time. During a mindfulness course, I also learned to meditate. In the beginning, I found it quite daunting and couldn't even keep my eyes closed for ten seconds! But after this introduction to mindfulness and the importance of a moment for yourself, a whole new world opened up to me. Since then, meditation has become a regular part of my daily life.
The benefit of a moment for yourself
I learned how important it is to take time for yourself. I used to just keep going, no matter how I felt. Moments of rest were unknown and felt very strange at first. I started by scheduling time for myself, either in the morning before the day began or at the end of the day, especially if I felt restless or stressed. The result? The tensions I struggled with then diminished, and I gained more peace in my mind, which had previously been spinning with thoughts. Moreover, I noticed that I could concentrate better at work, was calmer throughout the day, could think more clearly, and felt happier. A nice bonus was that my creativity increased and my output improved. The initially contradictory feeling of taking a moment for yourself while having a busy schedule turned out to be a valuable investment that paid off handsomely!
The power of calm
Taking time for myself works very well for me and yields so much. Around me, I see and hear the same challenges among busy people: always being busy, feeling like you can't get to anything, stress, fatigue, and the lack of time for yourself, even though you would love to. We also often read about the alarming increase in burnout and absenteeism.
Because this theme is so relevant today and a moment for oneself is desperately needed by many, this was the reason for me to embrace the power of calm through a moment for oneself as a theme. If I benefit so much from it, then surely other busy people will also benefit from it. Everyone has their own way of finding peace, but it starts with the fact that you take time for yourself.
