Me Day!

This year I am noticing that many of my insecurities and fears which I thought I was over and done with are surfacing and I have also noticed that my reaction to them has changed significantly in the sense that I don't find myself reacting to them like I used to. I find myself observing everything but reacting to nothing :)

I can now see the areas in my life that need my attention or rather don't need my attention. So recently I took a me day. I decided to relax completely so after Saif went to school and Ahmed went to work I meditated a bit and then put some relaxing music while I whipped up a homemade honey and coffee face mask.

I really love this face mask, honey has healing properties and the caffeine in the coffee detoxify the skin. If you want to try this then just mix 1 table spoon of coffee with 1 table spoon of honey then put it in the microwave for a few seconds. Make sure to test the temperature on the back of your hand before you apply the mixture to your face. I leave it on for about half an hour.

Coming back to my me day after I washed off the face mask I had my green tea in the balcony as it was a lovely sunny winter day. After that I decided to watch the Twilight Saga DVDs, yes I hadn't watched any of the twilight films before and yet I live on this planet :) I used to be a big fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV series so I am kind of into this kind of shows and movies.

I watched the first two movies in the Twilight series and really enjoyed myself. Good fun! It is nice to see how vampires have evolved from gross looking to looking hot :)

Anyway I had the best day. It is wonderful to just spend a day with myself, to feel good about life to see how easy it is to do that. To realize that I don't have to prove or explain myself to anyone. More importantly I am realizing more and more that I don't need to control anything in life or argue about it as Thomas Carlyle puts it “A man lives by Believing something: Not by debating and arguing about many things."

If I am at peace with myself if I feel happiness just being me it means that I am on the right track and things are being taken care of. After all the sun comes up every morning and it isn't on my to do list!

I highly recommend taking a relaxing day for yourself as often as it is possible for you, to reboot your mind and body. Also as I have discovered it is not necessary that you have to go to a spa or spend a lot of money to do that. You can do it at any time and at any place but it is a good idea to be by yourself when you do that. It is wonderful if you have a special day planned to be with your family, friends or partner but keep it separate from your me day. When you learn to enjoy your own company, you become joyful company for others too!
