Over these past few weeks my life has been incredibly exciting, action packed and exhausting but I'm not complaining one single bit! I love physically going out, visiting my friends and well doing things instead of sitting at home staring at my phone just to kill time.
Every day matters. We are all given the power to change someone's life and every time we wake up we can make a difference to our own lives if we choose to do so.
Personally, I always feel that I have to constantly be doing something or I begin feel guilty about not doing something practical with my life (this process is not sudden but seems to progress during an aimless day) - does any one else feel like this?
One thing that I have discovered is of course I can change my life and channel all my energy towards my grand goals, so that I live with the minimal amount of regrets, but I can't and should not sacrifice my happiness in doing so.
All that this really means sometimes I just need to CHILL and let loose.
So what I did was sit out in my garden, give my self a mini pedicure, paint my nails (which chipped within a day), read my magazine, feel my legs going red and then realise that sunscreen would be a good item to grab from upstairs - oh, sometimes I'm a total genius -but I really did enjoy my self doing it.
Why Is It Important to Enjoy Spending Time With Yourself?
You can do what you want to do!
You don't have to invite a friend around all the time since being by yourself means that you don't have to ask someone what they would like to eat or drink nor do you don't have to share an earphone when watching a film. Selfish? No, its just good to do things by your self sometimes.
You learn more about yourself
Well, you heard my little life story above so you can see that it is true. Being alone means that you can think about your beliefs, your values and assess your life - although overthinking things is never good for anyone.
You feel more grateful when doing fun things alone
I feel this one is very true for me! If I watch a hilarious film by myself I'm more likely to laugh much, much more that if someone was there listening to my ridiculous laugh. Also, if I buy and eat something really tasty by myself I'm more likely taste the food better, eat slower to savour the food and enjoy it much more than if I kept saying, 'this is so tasty!' to express it to others.
You don't have to be exhausted by the end of the day
You can sit in bed or outside and simply fall asleep instead of going out and staying there for a good 6 hours.
You feel more energized when you get back to a normal working day
At the end of the day when you have committed time to yourself, you are the person which should have benefitted and enjoyed yourself the most, right? By allowing your self pleasures, I believe that you will feel rewarded for your hard work and therefore become more motivated to do other things.
These are the things that I feel in my life and I am certain that not everyone feels guilty for sleeping most of the day then watching hours of TV, followed by hours of scrolling on their phones and then repeat the same process until the end of summer, but I would feel guilty.
I really hope that you find things that are common to your own life here, do you spend enough time with your self? How do you like to relax?
