“Me time” is essential. The downtime not only helps us unwind, but it gives us a temporary break to discover something unique about us. We get a peek into how we tick. Self-time helps us to understand who we are, especially when we acknowledge the things we like about ourselves and the things we don’t. There are specific things about us individually, whether at the surface or deep within our core that is mutable. Then again, some things can’t be changed, no matter what we do. However, we have control over a good percentage of our lives, and it begins with how we think. Are you a pessimist or an optimist? Why do we think the way we do?
We are what we think; as we desire so do we become! By our thoughts, desires, and habits, we either ascend to the full divine dignity of our nature, or we descend to suffer and learn.
Every thought you have alters some aspect of who you are. There’s always an invitation to examine our traits along with the things we can or can’t do. We can vow to change the way we think, but until we change our thoughts, nothing happens. That is why it’s so important to immerse our lives in positivity, so we can overcome the negativity. And if we succeed, we can change our lives for the better. When we release the bad thoughts, we clear the space. The cleared space makes room for positive thoughts. This space clearing usually happens when we practice “me time,” otherwise we get lost in someone else’s thoughts. Those with strong negative opinions who convince us they are right while everyone else is wrong. Respect them, but take care of ‘you.’
ME TIME ALLOWS YOU TO TRUST YOU
We need solitude, because when we’re alone, we’re free from obligations, we don’t need to put on a show, and we can hear our own thoughts.
It’s important to avoid getting stuck in a negative headspace, fighting internal demons. We manifest them without paying much attention to the very thoughts that brought them to life. Sometimes we judge others harshly without even checking in with ourselves. And sometimes it’s not so much about being judgemental but more in-line with decisions. The decision we make or the decision someone makes for us. Perhaps, someone checked out of the relationship some time ago; however, we didn’t realize this until it was too late. This is when you trust nothing or distrust everything and everyone. But this external stuff doesn’t matter… what matters most is you. Trust you, trust your intuition, trust your heart.
No problem ever gets solved when pride and ego stand in the way of love, forgiveness, and a positive attitude. We want to always be right, even when we are wrong. For whatever reason, we would rather stay in a negative space than find a way around it to see if something better exists. Unfortunately, this is where we end up living with regret, regretting what we should have or could have done, but didn’t. We know, but sometimes we fight what we know. It’s easy to plant seeds of doubt and waver between forgiveness and unforgiveness, between happiness and disappointment, and even between being together and being apart.
