We should bill the older generation – they sold most of us a very glamorized version of adulthood. Why didn’t they tell us that we’d sometimes have to wake up before our 5 AM alarm? Or that the job says 9-5 on paper but in reality, we’d be working a 7-7, sometimes more hours if there’s a project going on?
Being an adult can be very stressful, even when you have just yourself to take care of. How much more when you have a family? That’s why having ‘me time’ is very important. It’s a chance for you to break away from the chaos that your life or work can be and give yourself some quality tender loving care that you deserve.
If you don’t live alone, there’s no guarantee that you will have the television to yourself. Most times, you’ll have a game of fastest fingers with your family members to get a chance to watch your favourite shows. So, you’d want to create a time when no one can get in the way of you watching what you want. A little solo screen time never hurt anyone.
Next will be to get pamper tools. Scented candles, chocolate, soothing music and the works. Anything that brings you to relaxation heaven, go get it! If you want a massage and can get your partner to do it for you, even better. Just let your significant other know that it won’t lead to any extra-curricular activities – no matter how sweetly they entice you.
Cue your favourite movie or show. There’s nothing that says ‘me time’ than catching up on all the shows you missed out on. Since it’s your time alone, you can’t be where every other person would coincidentally want to watch television at the same time. So log on to your DStv app. Since one subscription can be used on different devices, bae can be watching her fashion shows on the television while you, in the tub wine glass at hand, watch the basketball game on your mobile phone. The app is also free, so lucky you!
If you follow all these, we can guarantee you’ll be a relaxed version of yourself, ready to tackle whatever the world throws your way. You may not even know how to be upset anymore and we know how living in Nigeria can get one’s blood pressure through the roof. Try our guide and tell us how the story goes!
