" day just for you"

It is really a nice idea to spend one day all alone. I believe that she is adopting the right approach and this way she is keeping herself happy. I would also like to spend the entire one day in a week, provided I am given the chance, al alone. I think it would be a great fun and a kind of relaxation to enjoy all alone. I would be introspect and explore myself better, if I am left alone. What about you?

Hi Che, Like you, I am staying home and yes, sometimes I would ask my hubby if I could have a day off from the house.. hahahah... Since I am not driving yet, I ask him one time to take me to the department store and leave me there until I will call him to pick me up. Well, since he is working, I have to wait the time when he is off. Lol. I enjoyed with that time for myself that I forgot to call him. Instead, he called me at 7pm, 8pm, 9pm asking if I am still ok. haahah 3 times he called. He told me that he has an overtime work and maybe could pick me up later, I was glad that I could still roam around. Finally the store was about to close so, I went to Walmart because they are 24 hours open.. and I will just wait for him there. Finally he called me at 9:30pm and said he is on his way. hahaha oh my!!! I am not done yet with my window shopping, Lol.. He arrived at Walmart at 10pm I am not yet done. I am not buying lots of stuff, I just look around, comparing prices hahaha...Well, that day is for myself only so that's how I spend it. I enjoyed looking at the shoppers, young and old.. at least I have seen lots of people in my day off from the 4 corners of the house.

I have never done anything like that before. I have wanted to in the past, but I always spend my money on the kids and bills. It's a rare thing for me to spend money on myself. It would be nice one day to pamper myself and maybe once the kids are grown and moved out, I will.

I do not have a "day just for me" every week but one day in a month. I usually spend this day just relaxing in the morning. Then I may go to the beauty parlour for a few hours or may be shopping for just myself. On that day I do not even take my phone with me.

I don't isolate myself for a day, I might take a hot bath just for myself once in awhile, instead of a shower. I like to just unwind without being far away from loved ones.

I try to have this time for myself as well. I don't get a full day of it but I try to do things by myself once in a while. I think it is important for one to have this time to one's self. We can only be around people and take care of them for some time that we also have to remember that we also have to pay attention to ourselves, and ourselves alone.

Well, LOL! Even if I did, I wouldn't know what to do with myself. I hate shopping, and I have no friends. My "loved ones" are my all; so I prefer to spend all my time with them and for them. Cheers and happy Mylotting

I actually have a "ME" day. It's not really more of isolating myself with my family or loved ones. It's more of a day when I'd do just what I want. It's the day when I don't have to get up early, nor do I need to clean or do any chores. It's also the day when I don't need to go to work. It is Wednesdays. It's also a day when I don't do mylot too. It's purely fun and my spa day and just pampering myself with whatever I want to do. It's nice to have time for that and my family, loved ones, and friends do understand that if they want to reach me that time, they'd have a lot of time to wait because I usually don't bring my cellphone with me.

Hi Che, since your friend is working, having a busy schedule, she can pamper herself by keeping a day just for her. I am also not working like you, so we can afford to pamper ourself anytime we desire. For me there are many other ways to keep myself happy. Have a nice day!

i am an indie, trying to start my own career on my own. so i spend most of the time on the computer all day, marketing, seeking online writing jobs, and checking many emails. but at 10pm, i go to the gym across the street and unwind with treadmill walking and cycling. return home at 2am, take my shower, drink herb tea, and fall asleep.

i would love to do that but my 3 kids (yes 2 children one husband) don't leave me much room for myself. I get lucky if i can get back and forth to the store without having to drag one of them with me.

Good for your friend. Her day probably helps relieve the tensions of the previous days. I don't have a "day just for me," but it sounds like an excellent idea.

I work from home and I am on my own but I am generally too busy to pamper myself, but your post has given me a great idea. My husband and daughter are at home over the December/January holidays and I feel as though I am the only one not taking a break, so what I will do from now on is as soon as they are both at work and school I will take my pamper time by myself. Good idea!

Wow, it sounds nice, but I am a full time mom, so at this point, I dont get any me time at all... I have heard of people doing this for themselves, and if you are a very busy person, volunteer alot, travel for business or pleasure, work full time, etc... that would be the thing to do to kinda refresh yourself, but I dont think it will be something that I would do. My children are small, my hubby works, the house needs alot of attention...so when I get my "me" time it is reading after the kids go to bed for an hour before I pass out from exhaustion....LOL happy mylotting.

I don't think most women have that privilege. Its more like grab a half hour here and there for yourself. anyway, why isolate yourself from you r family?

I never isolate myself from my family either. I work every day of the week online and my husband works out side of the home seven days a week also. My daughter also works and goes to school. We try to spend time together each day because there is not enough time for any of us right now.

Hi Checapricorn, I always make sure that I have a day during the week just for me too to relax with a book, go shopping, do something I want to do and visit. This is a week day when I am not shifted on to work so could be any day but it is when I am off and my son is at school that I take this ME time. This week comng it will be Friday. I have the whole day and then I am also going out in the evening also. Huggles. Ellie :D

I dont have a day just for me no but boy does it sound like a good idea!! How wonderful to have a day spent just on myself, but I guess I will have to wait until my children are all grown for that to happen!!

Hello che, my fellow Capricorn! and a belated Happy Birthday!... I work from Monday to Thursday evening, when I usually come home after 10 p.m. So my day just for me (particularly last week) was Friday. I actually turned off my mobile phone and did not turn it on again until Sunday morning. When I used to work a five-day week, I did my best to have Sunday to myself, but it was more common for me then to take Friday or Saturday night as my time for myself... Have a good week. Umart

Too much time spent with anyone can be a dangerous avenue to travel. We all need space for ourselves to listen to ourselves and just play and be ourselves. We should not be always trying to impress everyone. I always take my birthday off work. This is my day and I want to pamper myself on that day. Why would I want to work on the most important day of my life? Crocket.
