Give “ME TIME”
It can be achieved through having a bath, reading a book, going for a walk, performing yoga, getting your hair or nails done, and so many more activities. Essentially, as long as you're alone with your thoughts and undertaking mindfulness during any activity, you're successfully spending some quality ME time.
Why is Me time so important?
Because, whether we believe it or not, our mind and body are connected, and for our mind and body to function optimally, they need to be in sync. When they aren’t, you may notice changes in both. Such as, stress and tension may manifest themselves in your body as aches and pains like stomach cramping, back or neck aches or even migraines. And the same principle applies reversed. If you have a physical injury that restricts you from undertaking usual activities, you may notice a change in mood, motivation, or concentration.
