What is your most preferred thing to do in your 'me' time?

[Ginger]

That's a very good decision. Reading habit is a great way to stay engaged and gain more knowledge. I am an avid reader. My day is not complete without devoting at least 20 minutes to a book.

I guess so and this is why I am open to suggestions for books that I can read that can help me learn about money-making or personality development

@eLdavis . I am like you. My schedule is pretty busy and I am like a workoholic. I love being busy. I strongly feel that it's a blessing to be busy in a productive way. But still I take a few breaks and rejuvenate myself. Working online on forums is a way to rejuvenate myself. I take a power nap in the afternoon to rest.

You have actually said it all. While it's a blessing we still need to take care of ourselves so this bless doesn't become a curse in the future.

 

[Ginger]

Although its a blessing to be busy and earning and production but we all need me time if not daily then at least in 2 days to have some respite from busy schedule

@eLdavis and @Ginger . I totally agree with both of you. It's a blessing to be busy and productively engaged and have the financial gain, but nothing at the cost of loosing your health and mental peace. We need to have adequate rest and some me time on regular basis to keep rejuvenating us. Else all these blessings can soon turn into a curse.

I do rate mental and physical health very high and that's why I do prefer to rest and relax during the evening time and my Sundays are mostly for relaxing and rejuvenating

 

[eLdavis]

For some days now, what I normally do is to sleep. I guess it's cause I have been extremely stressed for some time now without having any proper rest.

 

[Ginger]

To sleep is good as it can make you feel good and refreshed and will relieve yourself from your tiredness or fatigue

 

[eLdavis]

Yes sleeping helps me so much relax, especially now that I have so much to deal with that i do not have enough time for myself.

 

[Stardom22]

I would like using that time to read my Bible and meditate the word of God for that matter.

 

[Ginger]

Good to see at least a couple of people that do like to use that free time or me time to meditate the word of God

 

[arunima25]

@Ginger . It's good to know that you give importance to your mental and emotional health. Listening to our body is so important. If we overstretch ourselves, we might end up loosing our health in long run. That's not worth for anything in this world. No amount of wealth in this world can buy a good health and peaceful mind.

 

[Ginger]

I guess at the end of the day we all like to feel good, comfortable both mentally and physically

 

[arunima25]

Very true! No accomplishment or achievements can be enjoyed if you are not in a good state mentally and emotionally. So, it becomes equally important to pay attention and put your time and effort in to your health.

 

[Ginger]

That's right, we need money too but it should be only after our physical and mental health

 

[arunima25]

If one maintains a good physical, mental and emotional health, one can enjoy life. Enjoy the money that his hardwork and planning brings. And with a good health, one can continue to earn for long time and keep enjoying it. A balance in life should be there. And me time is very important to pamper ourselves and get that balance in the life.

That's right, we need to have a balance in our work life so that we don't ignore any health related signals

 

[arunima25]

@Ginger . Ironically, people ignore their mental and physical health for their work. They go for one sided life of making living at the cost of so many things. And they actually forget to live while making a living. And they loose their health. So, the money earned is mostly spent on treatments and medications. And with bad health, one's productivity and efficiency to earn money is also badly impacted.

 

[Ginger]

I guess most of us do make this mistake at times, I have made this too but now I have realized that its best to stay in present and not think about future only

 

[Scorpion]

When I am free, all I do is relax while listening to music and other times, I go to the sea and swim. I also do a deep thinking about my plans for life.

 

[arunima25]

@Ginger . Good that you have realised it soon and actually made changes in your lifestyle. I have people in my close circle, in my family and friends, who are struggling to strike that balance. They have realised it, but are doing not much to break the habit. They keep complaining but still continue with the same routine.
