A Frank Question?!

This is a simple question ...How much time you spend on your self without any interference? I spend about 30 minutes to 60 minutes every day before my sleep where I reviews my day's work and contribution and and just think about me and only me where I get lot of consolation! I recall what ever I can recall and enjoy the moments, I enjoy the moments which were really near to me in my life! At that time there is only one person in my mind and that is only me and me! Do you spend some time on your self absolutely to pamper and rejuvenate yourself?

I usually think about my future plans and day goals while I was getting bath.

Yes, bathroom is the best place to concentrate about us! I used to do the same thing when I was young and bachelor!

Oh, I can not say I always have time for myself. I think I put myself in the last place.

@Nevena83 , That is the time when we need to convince ourselves that let the past be past and this is the time to start a new life, as there was nothing in hour hands to prevent that bad thing to have happened. Repeated consoling will definitely reduce the emotional scar and we will get back to normalcy very soon! So I thnk we must take out time to introspect ourselves and pamper ourselves emotionally!

So you admit that you never give time to yourself to introspect and pamper your self emotionally to keep yourself happy! This is the case with most of us because of which we feel irritated and get anger for no reason! If we take out time on regular basis and concentrate about our mental trauma we faced and repair it by going to the cause then I am sure we will be most happy in our lives!

@AKRao24 You're probably right, but sometimes it's very hard. I've always been focused on the past and the bad things that happened to me all my life.

I spend about 30 minutes a day relaxing while reading a book, that is my personal time.

That is nice way having your personal time! I appreciate it but I think by doing so you are not paying any attention to yourself and helping your mind to pamper your emotions and feelings! What you say?

@AKRao24 This is my way to relax, I cannot stay without doing nothing at all. The only moment when I do nothing is while I take my warm bath before going to bed.

@AKRao24 Yes, it is different. But when I meditate so many thoughts appear. When I spend time alone I have negative thoughts. Do you have the same problem?

Yes, I understand that most of us don't have such time! But we should take out some time for ourselves and pamper our emotions and feelings and repair the emotional traumas at times! That makes us positive and cheerful!

In the past I had a diary and at the end of each day I wrote about my activities, thoughts and feelings. I also wrote about the things that I was grateful for that day. It was a nice way to reflect and spend time on myself. Today I don't have a diary, but I have thought about starting again.

@AKRao24 At one point it was a habit. I wrote almost daily, and if I start again it will probably become a habit again. I prefer to do it right before I go to bed when the day is almost over. I have kept some of the things I wrote in the past, and when I read them again it brings back old memories

Well, thinking about our emotinal well being helps us a lot and helps in introspection too! I personally feel that we must give some time for ourselves to heal ourselves from emotional trauma

I'm not really sure. I feel like everything I do is to rejuvenate myself. I guess after I finish working I like to spend time writing a fanfiction so I can clear my mind, feel warm and fuzzy, and just live in a different world for a little while. I can normally do that for a few hours haha

Thanks dear friend! Yes we all get this feeling after every successful project...which I can understand best as a Stud Vet! That is a sense of feeling good because of one of feel good hormones that is being secreted in your body! My question is that do you really really spend some time about your self? Not about your enjoyments of your success?

@DesirousDreamer , Same thing applies to me, so my friends and relatives call me as a Workaholic. That is different thing, we have a feel good mood when we are engaged in some thing and accomplish the job completely! This is not pampering or introspection, i feel!

@AKRao24 I always need to be creating something, if I am not creating something I am thinking about something I want to create. So no matter what I cannot just relax and pamper myself without my brain going crazy about what I need to do next.

As much time as I CAN, and it's hard to quantify how much time I actually get. But I do cherish it when I can get it. I have very little time for it though between work and being married. It is what it is.

Yes, that is why to make ourselves realize that we are there in existence between our work and the married life and have our own identity taking out such time for us is very important!

Well now a days my online works, office and home commitments are so heavy that I rarely get such time. But when some of the the things smooth out in next some time, I could start having such time.
