Enjoying Time To Myself

40 minutes of me-time is all I need to feel like I'm back in control.

Even as I type this, I feel that much calmer amidst all the frenzy that has been in my life the past few weeks. I've always been a huge advocate of me-time, perhaps because I feel that without it I always feel that much more lost. My head will be in a tizzy and something always feels like it's terribly wrong. So whenever I feel this way, I like doing little things away from the world which make me feel like the only person in the world that matters is me.

Sounds selfish, doesn't it? But lordy, it works.

Here's a list of my favourite things to do when I need some time away to myself:

♥ Go for a run, mainly to take in the sights...and see what I see.

♥ Spend time jazzing up my Sidekick with applications, themes and ringtones

♥ Listen to songs that I love and sometimes try to figure out the piano, and guitar chords.

♥ Sketch, paint, make some jewelry... anything where I can get my hands dirty in goodness.

♥ Write - This can be anything from blogging to writing in my journal. I just love all sorts of writing

♥ Surfing is pretty fun these days (now that I'm actually getting the flow of it)

♥ Stare at the sky - Its sheer vastness illuminates me


Sometimes I wish I could try new things but I just lack time - I'd love to pick up tennis or continue doing some Martial Arts. And sometimes you just need suggestions about where to go and what to do, to help you remember yourself.
