Try to take a few minutes just to yourself and see the wonder it creates. When one of my friend used to go on a short drive all by her own, I used to ponder what makes her wander alone without her husband and children. Mused by her action, when questioned her , she just told me to take time off and see the difference in my moods and spirits. And indeed, it worked. This need not be a weekend or a few days out from the family, only a few hours will do the wonder. One need not always think of spending this leisure time outside but can be qualitatively spent elsewhere too.
I am sure everyone would love to have a 'lazy day' too. Many would consider their weekends ' lazy days' as they wake up late and would be too happy not to follow any particular routine on that day. Some would prefer to just chill out over a burger and starbucks coffee or just 'window shopping'.
For some, the weather plays an important role in their 'cheer up'. Especially, if it is raining 'cats and dogs', one would prefer to have 'garam garam pakode and masala chai' to pep up the mood and then relax just enjoying the rainfall.
Some of my friends are totally in relaxed mood when they visit their parents for a break. A casual atmosphere always exists there and one gets a total break from the needs of the children and of course the kitchen, courtesy our moms. But, have you ever thought of giving a break to your mother??Please do, she deserves it very badly.
My version of 'lazy day' is, when I finish my daily chores much ahead of the schedule and have the rest of the day only to myself. I love to browse, laze around with a hot cup of masala chai. How about you???? I thoroughly enjoy my 'gym' hours too.
Please enjoy 'few lazy hours' in your daily life and rejuvenate yourself.

ReplyDeleteA lazy day for me is just to laze around with my favourite songs playing in the background....sometimes you realy feel like doing nothing.
ReplyDeleteWell said! We ladies deserve our me times at any cost. I usually enjoy driving alone listening to my favorite fast tunes and lyrics that pump me up :) It's so inspiring!
ReplyDeleteYou are very true. We should make it a point to relax and have some "lazy time" for ourselves. Earlier, I used to meditate a lot, but now I give myself an excuse (which is not right). After reading your post, I am feeling like starting meditation again...it really helps you to be calm and composed. Great post and an eye-opener! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteNice meeting you and it's great to found your blog where you share delicious recipes and awesome food for thoughts!
I spend sometime silently meditating and this is the best time I spend with myself because as soon as I close my eyes a new world opens where I am with me only!
Very nice post! You are so right; we, especially us moms, need to take time for ourselves.
ReplyDeleteI also go to the gym and love every minute of my me time there, sleeping late on weekends is pretty nice too:)
Have a nice weekend!
