You might be thinking "Well Bre, I do have time to myself. I like the time I have to myself. I like spending time with myself In the gym." When you say that I'm thinking, "Well Reader, that sounds great. I like my gym time too. I do feel at peace while I'm in the gym (most days)." But while I do appreciate that you spend time on yourself and your body in the gym I'm also asking you to spend some time with yourself in a relaxed environment.
Sit in a cool dim room. Starfish on the floor. Close your eyes if you wish. If you fall asleep that's wonderful! You probably needed that. But if you fall asleep I'm not counting that as self reflection unless you had a ground breaking, reality shattering dream that changed your life. No? You didn't have that? Then wake up and reflect!
What did you think about during your reflection time? How long did it last? Did you get anxious? Sometimes I do, other times I am content with laying on the floor for awhile. After I reflect and assess my feelings and whatever else I usually listen to some music that mirrors how I'm feeling. Don't want to buy music? Me either. Youtube it! Use Spotify or Pandora. Its fo freeeeeeeee.
Basically what I'm saying is you need a different way to be with just yourself that is restful. You can't be up and going all the time. That is not healthy.
Love yourself.
Bre: Reflecting Ed: still makes me anxious sometimes.
