Finding 'me' time

The growing awareness about the benefits of a healthy diet and engaging in regular exercise is certainly very exciting! We are given so much information these days via television and social/printed media on how to better our health and quality of life. HOWEVER there is one very important element of wellbeing which can often be forgotten and lost within our busy lifestyles. I like to call it, ‘Me Time’. Whether it’s just a few minutes, or a few hours, the benefits of making time for yourself each day are proving to be invaluable. At the start of the day, look at your schedule and find time to commit to yourself. It can be as simple as 10 minutes sitting under a nearby tree on your lunch break. These 10 minutes of complete silence can greatly help you to gain clarity, perspective and a new approach to any difficult situations you may be facing. It is also important that we learn to feel content in our own company! Taking time to connect with yourself daily will help you to really know yourself and make better decisions whether it be in relationships, business or life. After all, your mind powers your body, so it should be a top priority every day! So today, take some ‘Me Time’ and nourish your most precious gift, your mind.
