In response to this daily prompt, I considered who I spend the most time with and the conclusion I came to is myself. At no time during the day or night am I away from myself.
I enjoy spending time with friends and family, and I do spend a considerable amount of time with them, yet I am with myself 24/7.
Spending time with oneself can be beneficial. I meditate when I am by myself and find this to be a positive experience that permeates into other aspects of my life.
I write by myself. This allows my thoughts to flow without hinderance. When I spend time by myself or with myself rather, me, myself, and I have a good time.
The caveat of spending all my time with myself is that I cannot bounce ideas off of anyone else. This is where my valuable relationships come in. I can learn from their perspectives and life experiences and vice versa.
All in all, it is a balancing act. Spend too much time with yourself and negative things can occur like ruminations and isolation from friends. Spending too much time with friends and family can leave you feeling like you have lost yourself. I find it beneficial to have times where I can enjoy being alone and also to have times to cherish my friends and family.
What are some of your tactics for finding time to spend with yourself?
