Sunday night…almost Monday morning. Cosy and warm in my bed
just watching things all day on a OLED Panasonic TV. Sounds good right? I’ve
spent my entire weekend just doing nothing but binge watching my favourite tv
shows again such as Gossip Girl, Jane the Virgin and Prison Break. It was time
for a long overdue break from everything and everyone. It has never taken me
this long to realise that all I needed to do was to spend some time by myself.
It is so extremely difficult to overlook the minor signs that point toward it
especially if you’re a very social person.
So how do you know that you just need some time for
yourself?
1)
Frustration
Sometimes you’re just frustrated but there
is no apparent reason for this. Nothing in your environment has significantly
changed, yet you’re annoyed, stressed out or just not happy. The right word
would be frustrated. I recently had a day where I just walked around moaning
and nagging saying that I don’t feel quite right. I was looking for the word
frustration.
2)
Constant tiredness
No matter how much sleep you’re getting,
you’re just not awake.
3)
Not feeling content
Nothing makes you feel fully happy anymore.
You feel half-hearted about everything you do.
4)
Easily Annoyed
You have mood swings and always feel on
edge.
5)
Zoning Out, fading into your own world
You could be having a one to one
conversation with another person yet get distracted by a car that drives past.
You struggle to concentrate and constantly zone out to your own trail of
thoughts. Your closest people around you will start noticing.
6)
Sudden unhealthy eating habits – binge eating
and crazy cravings
7)
Lack of productivity
You have so much to get done yet somehow
nothing is getting done at the same pace as you used to.
8)
Lack of sleep
9)
Restless routine
When you’re always surrounded by people and
just have a fully packed schedule it will get to you sooner or later. The only
way to stay sane is by giving yourself breaks where you are just by yourself.
10) Other’s
issues filling your head
If you’re the friend that always listens to
others’ problems and are giving advice it can become difficult. Especially when
your own life is getting hectic and other issues are also on your mind. The
only way to help the situation is to give yourself a break and just rest.
I have been feeling all of these things
lately so if you can relate to more than 2 things on this list, it’s time for
you to make sure that you make no plans with anyone next weekend and just do
the things you like doing by yourself. Watch a few movies, treat your skin with
face masks or just catch up with sleep. Your health goes before anything else,
remember that! Happy Monday guys!
