Me Time — not guilty

For the last few days, I have been all to myself for lengthy hours after a long time. It is so refreshing to have your morning coffee in solitude watching the sunrise in the morning, scheduling your tasks for the day, eating the food which needs minimal effort, and no urgency of prepping to feed others.

Everyone enjoys spending quality time with their people while still needing some alone time to do some serious contemplation and build closeness with no one but yourself. I missed this for a while and I love how it elevates my efficacy. You mostly learn to value other individuals while they aren’t around.

Celebrations and peers cannot provide you the same warmth as being connected with your inner self. There’s a serenity which only isolation serves because it’s only when we’re alone with our thinking can we resolve our puzzles.

My commitments to daily workouts, less rummaging through the kitchen, going to bed earlier, being mindful about what I watch on social media have been consistent and I feel wonderful!

I love to hear my soul, sometimes it whispers with joy and sometimes it cries. It gives me endless thoughts, explanations, and reflections on my mind and limbic brain. For it helps me to expand my love for none but me. Creativity and objectives are evolved with what we call “Me Time".

However, I feel no bad for expressing to have my lone time as it is making me personally and professionally prolific.

Being observant about what is happening to me inside, making some time for self-care, going to bed early so I could read the new book, catching the pressures of breath now and then is all that enriches my positivity.

I promise to give more “Me Time" and I feel it is very imperative for my physical and mental health!
