Motivational Monday: Spend Time With Yourself

the-open-mind.com

 

How many of us do this, actually spend time with just ourselves?  The thought of being alone can be scary for many but from my own experience, I feel it's not about"being alone,"but rather it's about showing self-love. 

From my own experience, I find spending time with yourself is vital to exploring who you are, enhancing your character, developing your problem solving skills and self confidence, developing self awareness and learning more about your surroundings and the people around you; allowing your observations to be as organic as possible. 

As a bonus, by spending time with yourself, you learn to enjoy activities or partake in spontaneous adventures, while nurturing the process of manifestation for even attracting your ideal mate. You learn be present in the moment.

I have had some friends and family members question my choices to travel solo (such as going to Block Island, RI or Nepal), go to a movie or even treat myself to dinner at a restaurant. Why does she do that? That's strange....etc. Whispers behind closed doors. 

 

My response to that is, to each is own. I drum to my own beat and have faith others will be brave and courageous enough to do the same.

Hi Laura Cerrano ... I can relate to this read! Most of my time is spent in the field and in classroom situations always with clients and people. It's really important to have time to myself and I enjoy it. Good read!

That is truly awesome that you do need any crutches in life to be who you want to be! Living without the fear of being alone is surely a gift!

Laura, some may say I spend way too much time alone with just myself.  I happen to enjoy it ... a lot.  I never feel alone.

Being from a large family (12) it was hard to be alone.... but, I do like having a day to myself and do just what I want to do.
