Today is all about loving yourself and taking care of yourself. As individuals we must learn to set aside some ‘Me Time.’ It is a time dedicated to yourself and you don’t share it with anyone, no matter who they are. Ii would like to believe that even married people or those who are all loved up have some me time. If you don’t, then you might be feeling suffocated and not know why.
So, have yourself some me time. If you have a lot to get through, make this your reward when you have completed all tasks at hand. I think men and women deserve me time. Time away from the hustle and bustle of life and all things work related. In fact, you deserve some me time from people. Don’t shoot the messenger, I am just telling it like it.
Do something nice for yourself; go out to the cinema and yes, you can go alone. It is not sad or boring. It is liberating. I can say that because I do it a lot. You can’t always wait for the world to be ready to do what you need to do. If not, you will wait forever. Go out for diner if that is what you like. If your girlfriends are busy, dress up, take a cab if you don’t have a ride…only if you can afford it and treat yourself to some good food made by someone else. Go horse riding, swimming, jump off a building but be safe…just do something as long as it does not mean getting hurt. Ladies, your hair, your nails, get a massage……you know the drill. Men, I am not going to lie and say I know everything you do to relax but I know some of you love sports, take one up, tennis, basketball, learn to play. Go out for a ride, maybe to the countryside if that’s your kind of thing. I know a man who loves the country side, so maybe another guy out there does too.
Read a book, learn something new, just do something and make yourself interesting. Like one of my favourite people once said, ‘doing interesting things, makes you interesting.’ Do things that add to you not subtract from you. Read to train your mind, exercise to train your body and whatever you believe in, pray to build your spirit and soul. Get some peace and serenity into your life and personal save.
Putting yourself first sounds really selfish to the ears as we are meant to be selfless but if you don’t take care of yourself, who will? The same people who may exit your life tomorrow? Think about it? You want to be a well rounded human being. Though you are work in progress while on your journey to that place of wholeness, there are things you can do to make your life more interesting. I am not saying shut the world out or shut down on the world. I am not saying become selfish either. All I am saying is take care of you, so you can take care of your vision and those around you when they need you. Take care of yourself, so you can take care of business.
