Taking Your Time Out

is important now more than ever

Wake up early, stay up late, do your thing. Make it a duty to be alone and feel at home. It can only bring health and wealth to play as being alone is more necessary now due to all our distractions, with it comes inactions.

In our day and age, it is hard to sit still and be OK. I mean, that is why meditation is becoming so popular, right?

I never realised that taking time out for yourself was so crucial to personal development until being at uni. I wanted to make friends and go out, but I also felt the need to be by myself sometimes.

These days, that would mean watching Netflix and zoning out. Now I know that’s far from what taking time out for oneself is truly all about.

We need to nurture ourselves. We need to give ourselves time. We need to know that we are OK without any other distraction in the way.

How?

Check in to your creative outlet!

It is within your hands — open up to feel what’s up.

When talking about creative outlets, I mean it is the way that expressive therapy works. You tune in to your creative desires and allow them to bring comfort. When I found my love for writing, I couldn’t stop. I wanted to write about anything and everything. From poems to non-fiction, I felt invincible.

What is your creative outlet?

Sit down and start writing in a journal form, then colour, draw or paint. I believe everyone has creative kicks in some shape or form, it is just up to us to discover them. It can be anything you want it to be, just believe and act on your drive to unearth what it is. (With no distractions in the way, of course!)
