Solitude is a gift that we overlook and undervalue; can you remember the last time you were intentional about setting aside time for yourself?
If your mind, body or heart are feeling heavy and exhausted, that is your indicator that you need to do something kind for yourself.
Take a break this week – sit back, relax, and set yourself up to be pampered by you. After all, no one truly knows what will soothe your soul more than you do.
Create a getaway that is special for just you; this can look like a day-long movie marathon, all of the fixings for an at-home spa day, or maybe just some time to rest.
So, let’s talk about how you can host your very own staycation for one.
Taking time to do something nice for yourself is an act that runs deeper than simply having a good time. When you choose to prioritize your own happiness and time, you are giving yourself a moment to reevaluate what is important to you.
In turn, this gives you the space you need to take steps towards what is going to be fulfilling to you, and ultimately, what is going to keep you moving forward.
When we allow ourselves to be put on the back burner, we are doing a disservice not only to ourselves, but to everyone around us. If we don’t give ourselves the time to decompress and reconnect with our hearts and minds, we cannot be present. When you treat yourself with kindness and care, your capacity to handle adversity and be supportive of others grows.
