I thought I knew what “Me Time” was from reading books and asking questions. But what I’m finding out as I continue with my life is that it doesn’t have to be a ‘selfish’ activity like taking a bubble bath or getting a pedicure. It also doesn’t have to be with just yourself. You can do something with a friend that you both enjoy Living in Arizona, ‘me time’ involves a lot of hiking trails and visiting the great spas and resorts in the area. I know that it’s important to take time out of my day to fill my cup up and recharge by doing something I like. Whether it’s aqua aerobics, spinning classes or walking on the treadmill, physical exercise and the chance to quiet my mind allows me to nurture my spirit. This helps me to be more present in my life and my relationships and to center my heart and channel my passions towards things that I enjoy. When I’m able to do this, I can focus on being more creative when I’m serving others. Working at half capacity doesn’t serve anyone. You can be a physical body in a room during a meeting but if you aren’t contributing to the conversation because you’re worn down, then who are you really serving? Is Me Time Selfish? Many people ask themselves this and you really have to stop and think about what you’re doing each day. It can be more beneficial in the long run to take five minutes out of your day to simply read or look at photographs. It will help fuel your spirit and recharge your brain.
