DI4Y: How to Create a Me Moment
When you feel like you need a bit of "me" time... STOP and >>make the time<< to create a #MeMoment for yourself. It's easy, we promise!
Even just a few minutes with yourself can have a lot of positive effects on your level of stress, anxiety, focus, creativity, & more.
So what's a Me Moment? A Me Moment could be as simple as taking a seat in a comfy chair and allowing yourself to focus on your breathing, or it could be painting your nails or even going for an evening walk around the neighborhood. It's really about making an intention to spend some time with yourself.
I can confidently say that both Hil and myself (and a lot of friends too) are all about doing anything and everything (FOMO is a real thing), but if we are go-go-go all the time, are we really accomplishing the things we want for ourselves?
Creating a little bit of me time and checking in with your feelings, thoughts, and dreams is a thing everyone should be doing a little bit more of! Spending time with yourself is healthy, important, and necessary to keep you sane.
"But I don't feel like getting deep with myself..."
That's OK! Some moments may not be as deep, but it's still important to put yourself first sometimes. And who knows... other moments may allow you to grow spiritually or become more aware of the energy you carry around with you. The goal is to surround yourself with a bit of inspiration and learn to love yourself more.
Self-love = Self-Growth = A Better You!
"I don't know where to start..."
