Make time for you

Taken from Yoga Journal

Want to feel more relaxed on a daily basis? How about taking some time to simply be alone?

Often our lives revolve so much around other people—friends, family members, co-workers—that we forget what it's like to be alone. But being solitary is one of the best ways to relax and decrease the stress that we all carry around in our bodies each day.

Try carving out a few minutes to be alone on a regular basis. Spend that time listening to your heart, reminding yourself about your intentions, and re-evaluating your goals and your activities. Often, being solitary can help you gain a new perspective on your life. What is—or isn't—really important to you? Taking time for yourself is the first step toward answering that question.
