Time out (aka Me Time)

Friday, 27 November 2020

Sometimes in life you just have to take a time out and spend time doing what makes you happy.

Today I took a time out. I don’t like taking sick days, especially when I’m not sick. I’m not physically sick. But mentally and emotionally, well that’s another story.

I just knew, with every fibre of my being, there was no way I could be tethered to a laptop all day today. I knew yesterday but slept on it to be sure. Then this morning, I listened to myself. I listened to what my heart and soul were telling me.

Take a time out!

So I did. And the result? I had the time of my life. My energy and mood were high. I felt happiness and joy. I felt carefree. I never left the house… But I had a great day.

I kept busy doing things I wanted to do…odds and ends I’ve been putting off until I had time. And, I got some Christmas decorations up.

I highly recommend taking a “me” day, a “gone fishing” day, a “time out” day or whatever you want to call it. A day devoted to doing whatever you want to do. It’s energizing and helps keep our light shining bright… something the world needs more of right now.
