The Busy Life

We all lead busy lives, including myself ( I feel I never get a moments peace). Lets admit it, it gets exhausting. Sometimes life can move so quickly that we are constantly finding that there is not much time for you and everything you want to take on.

You Need To Make Time For You

I have never really been the type to get alone time. I have always been the victim of the "too busy for that ". Until recently that is. I've come to learn that you cannot neglect yourself. Happiness always starts with you - embrace it and indulge a little. When you love yourself you will find room for excitement and growth and learn more about yourself, things you never would have known. Being comfortable with yourself is important - it allows you to take on experiences, and try new things. In my opinion, I feel people view alone time as being the outcast, uncool, or having a boring lifestyle. Being alone doesn't have to mean that, and doesn't mean you're alone or lonely. It means you are comfortable with who you are and allows you to explore what you enjoy to become a happier you. It does take practice, self love and appreciation - but it is worth it.

Listen to your heart, your mind, your soul

As I said earlier, I am no stranger to the busy life, so sometimes making a schedule is the best possible way to find your inner peace and moment. Even if you schedule 30 minutes of time for yourself a week you're on the right track!

What are my personal favourites?

gym
There are a lot of people who insist on going to the gym with people. I fall into this category, sometimes. But mostly enjoy and appreciate going on my own. It's a moment of just me, my music and focusing on my routine. It's my time to reflect and think while doing something I love.

yoga
There are many different types of yoga, and everyone can benefit from. It's great meditation - clear your mind of all stresses!

Writing
Yes, I know writing may be a career for some but take a different angle or approach. Try writing something different from your usual routine.

Hobbies

Anything you enjoy doing, or have thought about doing but have yet to get the chance due to prior commitments. 

A Walk
Fresh air is wonderful! It clears out your lungs and allows you to enjoy the beauty that is around you. New to a city? Explore it! You'll find more enjoyment by going for a walk or a hike alone than if you were in a group (talking can sometimes make you miss the little things).

Disconnect

Probably one of my favourites. Disconnect from your phone or your social media. Spend time reading a new book, learning a new recipe or just thinking.

You are truly wonderful and you need a little you time to enjoy life. 

Breath in Breath out and smile
