Me Time

“I Vant To be alone” is what Marlena Dietrich said in the 1932 film classic Grand Hotel.

Isn’t it strange that something this simple can be so satisfying every once in a while. Heck, if you need it… do it more often. At least for me, Me Time is very important. It gives me a chance to recollect, refocus and keeps my sanity level stable.

I know what your thinking… who has EXTRA time just for “Me Time”? Who said it has to be special or extra time? Sometimes, Me Time occurs for me going to or from work. I will just shut off the radio and just listen to the tires hum on the road. Other times, Me Time occurs while on a bike or running. That is what I call quality Me Time. Not only am I strengthening my body, but I’m also refreshing my mind.

My suggestion to you is to go out and make a point of spending some quality Me Time this week with yourself. Find something you can do by yourself (shopping, going for a walk, playing the piano, etc.) and go do it. You’ll thank me for it later.
