My favorite "me" time...

... is going for a walk, listening to NPR, without my phone with me.

OK, it's one of my favorite ways to spend "me" time, but it's one I get to do most often. I've tried meditating and I just can't make it work, so this is second best.

Oh, and if I can have some dark chocolate with me, even better:)

I am indulging in "me time" by posting to this blog! First, I love music, so other favorites of mine include: looking through the stacks at Best Buy or Borders, etc or searching Amazon for interesting new music finds; going to live music performances with friends; and listening to music at home while my husband takes the kids to the park. I love pampering, so I also indulge in manicures, pedicures, facials, massages, etc as time and budget permit. I have also found that an occasional short (i.e., 2 days) business trip works wonders for me, especially if the hotel has a spa and a gym! Even though I may have to work a bit more, the short commute/cabs, room service and no kids/wife work, free up hours of my time that I can spend reading, watching Law & Order reruns or classic movies.

Since I move around alot for a living, my favorite time "me" is probably being still. In spring and summer I like to be out in any green space with trees and water reading. I still love to find trees I can climb and perch in to read something completely mindless but enjoyable.

I love walking. Since I'm in the heart of the south, my favorite time is when the sun goes down a bit. It's still warm but very comfortable. I find it's a good way to clear my head.

ahhh... putting one foot in front of the other... so simple, but so relaxing. The best "me" time. I feel so fortunate to be surrounded by hiking trails in the middle of my suburban chaos. It's amazing how just a few steps puts it all behind you.

I love chocolate...I even went to the Chocolate Festival they had in Boston a few years ago. Talk about being in paradise.

Stress free time...I would say for me, playing music or knitting (which I just learned)
Stay stress free!
Hugs,
