How often do you feel the need to have a ME day?

[DonkeyDan]

How often do you feel that you need time just to yourself, and not have anyone else around you?

Today is that day for me, just want some peace and quiet for a day, not to have to do anything.
I normally have something on, or someone coming over. But today I've cleared ny schedule, I've not even had my normal Sunday morning gym session.

I'm just about to switch on the hot tub and open a bottle of wine and soak for a hour or two, BLISS

[HighlyVolatile]

I would love to enjoy days like this but I'm such an extrovert. I get too much "me" time and I get all crazy, start talking to myself pacing around in a room, and I miss the social company.

My thoughts start going all over the place without taming them with conversations. My natural and isolated self wants to leap off the bridge because it doesn't seem concerned with correctness or wisdom at all so much as what's fun and will shake things up.

I envy the people who can enjoy a ME day.

[HighlyVolatile]

I find I'm really like a living testament of how idle hands are the devil's playground. My thoughts can go so dark, so vain, so stupid, so extreme, with too much "me" time. I need other people constantly to set my thoughts straight.

[HighlyVolatile]

Chaos, order, and harmony if I put it one way. The "me" times make me inclined towards chaos; I start thinking "fuck it!" and cease to care about almost everything. Time with others is what makes me mellow out and start favoring order and harmony.

[DonkeyDan]

Sounds like you could actually do with a me day to calm your mind.

[HighlyVolatile]

I might need a therapist to help me make it productive. My thinking patterns on my own don't lend themselves to harmony and peace. It might also be why I favor thrill-seeking vacations while people like my wife prefer sunbathing at the beach or swimming pool. :-D I become uncomfortable left alone with my own thoughts.

[HighlyVolatile]

Sane people as I see it want a vacation from the external. I seek one from the internal. I don't want to be left alone with my thoughts. I want to do something where I can't think about anything else.

Haha I literally did that yesterday. It was a long week, a really bad one, and I just needed downtime to do nothing.
mine consisted of a 4 mile run along the water , then headed to the beach and did nothing but read for 4 hours.
then I had a quiet dinner with my girlfriend and went to bed early.

i don’t often have the opportunity to do nothing, or maybe it’s me. I don’t don’t take the time to just stop and relax enough. Maybe every 4 months or when on vacation.
anyways, yesterday was that day and now I feel refreshed.

I have a "Me Morning" most Sunday mornings when I have an extremely long soak in a lovely hot bath, with several gorgeous smelling bath bombs... Sheer Bliss.

[EmmaMary]

Thank you for the MHGirl.

[TrueConfection]

I feel it all the time, I just don't get to have one. I'm not sure I'd know what to do with myself of I did.

[DonkeyDan]

Send the family out for a day somewhere, run yourself a bath or if you have a hot tub power that baby up and pour yourself a drink and just chill out, maybe read a bit.

[TrueConfection]

Those all sound good! I wish I had a hot tub. lol.

[DonkeyDan]

You could always just fart in the bath 😂

[Charliefretz329]

Anything is good

[AviatorTom]

At least once a month... just a day to do what I want, no stress or responsibilities, sometimes that means doing nothing.

[DonkeyDan]

Excellent, yes just to have a day where nothing is expected of you. It's nice that I've done it on a Sunday too, as I'm normally cooking a big roast dinner for some friends and partner. Bacon sandwich for lunch, and I've got a microwave meal for dinner, all my healthy eating is out the window today 😂

[lamaguy]

Most weekdays I now get an hour or two to myself after school and I really enjoy being alone for the bit, eating some food, and just doing whatever. It’s very relaxing


But when I am around my family every day all the time I’m happy too

[janerobinson]

Me days are such great ideas. I normally have a mini self-care day every week where I take Wednesday mornings off to just relax with a face and hair mask.

[jennifer_bloom]

I don’t need a me day cause I am usually always doing my own thing other than occasional stuff for my parents.

[NathanDavis]

every two years or so... I try to go back to the mountains and disappear in there for a couple of days

[dustybiker]

Before my own family, a lot. Now I only want to get out if nobody is home.

[melanieeeB]

Everyday haha and I will take me time daily, but I try to have a me day on sundays

[exitseven]

I used to do this once in a while. I would call in sick and go to the beach. Buy a six pack and some snacks and bring a radio and just veg out.

[ImNoOne111]

I never needed a ME day. I always needed ME hours tho. Everyday, I have a ME time for one hour or two. Its required for me, otherwise I would act very tired or even aggressive

[AlwaysBelieving]

At least once a week. I’ll not go of my condo. Texting only if I feel the need.

I’m going to get back into going the gym and hop on the spin cycle after I get out of the office.

[t-8900]

Twice a week. Sounds excessive? You'd be surprised how much it improves mental health.

[Creampiekarl420]

Maybe once a month but usually make time out of everyday for myself sometimes a few hours sometimes a few minutes I’ll listen to some music drink tequila and lemonade on a quilt at the park

[Charliefretz329]

Not very often do i feel that way but sometimes its absolutely vital. I usually prefer to share my me day with the wife and kids

[Tiptoetamm]

Every couple of months I take a me day

[StephanieGirl75]

I have me day every morning. 😻

[OddBeMe]

Be easier to describe my non-me days….

[WhitneySnow]

Once in a while

[boobliker]

twice a week please

[jamartheg]

Every day
