On keeping time for yourself

The last few months have been a bit hectic, that's why I didn't have new posts for a while. I will create a few posts based on all that happened, but it will have to wait as the next months might not be a lot better. With all that, I decided to take a few minutes to praise the importance on keeping a spot for yourself in your agenda.

In today's active and efficiency-oriented society, we often associate doing nothing with laziness. I, on the other hand, actually think that there is a healthy dose of procrastination we should all indulge in. I think spending some time alone is good to just relax, but also to keep some emotional balance and individual identity (for those of use in long-term relationships this is very important). It is also a good way for one to reflect on himself, learn more about himself and accept the "qualities one is less proud of". Doing something that requires little attention/concentration is key to letting your mind wander around. Watching TV, gardening, cooking, cleaning dishes or just doing menial house-chores are all things we can do to just spend time with ourselves; the proper mindset is, however, necessary. If you are doing those things because you feel like you have to, it could cause stress that is counter-productive to the desired effect.

Spend time with yourself and learn to live with yourself; after all you will be the one you spend more time with during your life
