Why We Should Give Time To Ourself

Many of us rely on our children, partners, work colleagues and friends to pull us in different directions and try to do things for people. But if it just works, we have to find a way to put ourselves first.

Once you start taking time for yourself, don't be surprised if you don't encounter a little resistance from those in your life who are used to you being available. There are many reasons why this could happen: insecurity, over-dependence, the feeling that you feel neglected or rejected because you are used to having one around you. When you combine this with what many people experience, especially women, when they manage to find a few moments of time for themselves, it becomes clear that many people feel that it is not worth it to find time for themselves.

Spend more time alone and you will realize that you are not dependent on other people to be happy. As I mentioned in my recent post 6 Reasons why you should spend more time alone, there are many personal benefits to loneliness. But what is worth the effort is not just the personal benefit you reap.

If you have a busy schedule, you should take at least ten minutes to focus on something you enjoy. Having enough time for leisure activities and time for simple idleness is crucial for maintaining balance. Sleep well, refresh your mind and body and take a break from everyday life.

If you allow your mind to focus on something other than work, it can help you gain perspective on what you can't see when you are knee deep in a trench.

According to a Harvard study, people spend 46,9 percent of their waking hours thinking about what other people are doing, and that makes them unhappy. If you give time to be on your own, you are prepared for negative thoughts that you can reduce. Taking time off helps you organize your thoughts and keep a clear head.

Mindfulness reduces stress not only, but also has the power to help you slow down and take care of yourself in the midst of challenges and responsibilities in life. The only way to gain time for yourself is to reduce the time and energy you give to other people. If it does not happen immediately to take time for yourself, try to be patient.

If we allow our lives to become too busy without a break, we increase the stress we have to cope with. If you get into the habit of taking time to do what you enjoy, you will feel less overwhelmed by the hype of everyday life. You can take your time during the day to take a break and take some time out.

It seems that everything needs to be done and everything needs our attention. Learn to create a small island of solitude in daily life. It is a challenge to leave our deceleration.

Spending time with family and friends gives me a lot of pleasure, but I have also found that I need time to relax, reflect and enjoy my own company. Adding a little loneliness to an already crowded schedule is not a waste of time. When I suggest spending a few minutes alone with a client in my therapy practice, I often hear the comment: "I'm too busy to have time for myself" or "I can't sit still.

Many people think loneliness is lonely, but that could not be further from the truth. Being alone means learning to appreciate your own company and to feel comfortable, to be alone with yourself and your thoughts.

It is not uncommon for a person to avoid being alone, and this can have a number of reasons. When you are surrounded by others, you may find that you are silencing your own thoughts and opinions. But when you spend time alone and think things through, you begin to understand your preferences and ideas.

This means that you can start to understand yourself better and build your relationships with yourself. A helpful moment of solitude can also help you find your voice and speak more freely in the company of others.

Getting away from the world allows you to become familiar with the way you see the world again. By understanding how you see the world, you gain insight into who you are as an individual.

We think all the time, but it is only when we look at our thoughts from the outside that it is like that. We cannot get caught up in thoughts and cannot distinguish between our formulated thoughts and who we really are.

When we distance ourselves from our thoughts, fear builds up. When we are overwhelmed by the thoughts we have, and unable to slow them down, we feel as if they are part of who we are, and we begin to feel heavy and sluggish. If you spend more time with your lonely friend, you will have the opportunity to get your mind in order, rid yourself of unnecessary negative thoughts, and ease your anxiety.

By spending time in nature and enjoying and receiving the harmony, tranquility and unity of nature you will be filled with pure energy. When you stop your daily hustle and bustle to face your daily chores and endless needs, you can take the time to look at your life and see how many things you have. Be thankful for this subtle energy and you will feel it calmer in yourself and great things will happen in your life.

Separating from the rest of the household is a great way to start the day in solitude. You can use this time to exercise, meditate or have breakfast in peace. With additional support, you can invite positive changes in your life, such as exercising or taking time off, both great ways to stay on track.
