On making time for yourself

On making time for yourself

By band | Prophet of Markets | 16 Mar 2019


Any day can be a best day.

You call the shots.

You declare your own holiday.

It's healthy to have one day all to yourself.

Call it a "sanity treatment" if you will.

Sundays are my best days.

It's a day to relax and unwind.

It's my own personal, sacred day.

Where I can do anything that matters to me.

Or do nothing at all.

There's no guilt in bumming around for a day.

There's pleasure in waking up a bit later than usual.

There's delight in enjoying a breakfast you've prepared.

You really must choose one day all to yourself.

Saves you from crankiness.

So what if you chose to sleep all day long.

You can turn off phone, landline or mobile phone.

Close the curtains.

Hide from the world.

Eat your favorite food.

Watch movies you've been wanting to watch.

Have no family or friends come over.

Or if you live with others, tell them you want that day for yourself.

You don't have to accompany anyone.

You don't have to serve anyone.

Surely they can get along without you for a day.

Do you have that luxury.

I hope you do, for you matter a lot.

You must make time for your precious self, too.

That will ensure your mental, physical, and emotional health.

Make time for self.

It's your day.

It's sacred.

You must delight in your own company.

Let it be a spiritual, emotional, and bodily boost.

Where you don't have to deal with anything or anyone.

You know you deserve that.

Be generous then.

The whole week, you serve others.

What's one day for your self.

The night before, you can sleep late.

The day after, you can wake up late.

Or you can sleep earlier than usual.

And wake up later than usual.

That's the idea of time for self.

Just you, you, you.

And tell others to do the same.

So they'll leave you alone.

It's really a no-brainer.

And it's compassionate.

If people love you, they'll leave you alone.

Even for just a day.

That's not too much to ask.

Even animals hibernate for days, weeks, or months.

Why can't you, a human being.

Give yourself the gift of time.

Just for self.

You'll come out a better being.

Just don't wallow in self-destructive substances.

You know which.

Make it a time to repair self.

Self needs repairing, you know.

You're not a machine.

You're a human being.

Make time for self.
