We aim to be productive and highly accomplished in our day-to-day lives, often focusing on others without dedicating time to personal well-being. This puts us at risk of experiencing high stress, low self-esteem, and diminished productivity. Therefore, setting aside time for oneself isn't just helpful, it's necessary for a healthy and engaging life.
How To Make Time For Yourself
The
definition of personal time varies greatly from person to person. For some, it
involves exercise and meditation; for others, it might mean sitting quietly at
home watching a movie or enjoying a new book. Regardless of how we choose to
spend our personal time, the most important thing is to ensure we make time for
these activities.
