There is a time and a place for everything.
It might be:
- time to get serious
- time to relax and unwind
- time to go for a walk
- time to meet a friend
- time to tidy up
- time to go to bed
- time to watch a film or read a book
- time to take a shower
- time to do some cooking
- time to ring or visit a family friend
- time to go to the gym
- time to go shopping
- time to make plans
- time to go on holidays
- time to reflect
- time to laugh
- time to cry
- time to pamper yourself
- time to get through that to-do list
I've learned that my perception of myself and how I look is completely different to the way other people see me. I am happy with what I see in the mirror so I am going to focus on that image and not the horrible photographs taken at awkward angles. I eat healthy, exercise and feel happy most of the TIME.
I also decided lately that everybody feels like a basket-case at some point in their lives. That's okay. Nobody is perfect. Don't expect perfection from yourself or anybody else.
Don't waste too much time reflecting on your youth either. The good times you remember probably only account for seven or eight days you enjoyed out of that whole year you are thinking about. I wouldn't take the struggles of my college years back (deadlines, presentations etc.) so I'm not going to yearn for the few mad parties I had either.
These are my nuggets of wisdom for what they're worth. Tomorrow I want you to wake up and find an optimistic way of looking at every problem you face throughout the day.
Sweet dreams
