So, if you had an hour to yourself...what would you do? How would you pamper yourself in this hour?

    Probably sleep or watch Netflix. Sad, but those are my 2 favorite pastimes.

    I would treat myself to a pedicure or soak in the tub. Of course, I wouldn't mind going for a walk or drink with a friend.

    I am so busy now, that doing my exercise FOR ME is my thing. My husband complains that it cuts into our time together and he feels lonely after dinner if he doesnt' want to walk the dog with me or if i log my food and exercise after dinner. But I put myself on top of the list. When I put myself on the bottom, the pounds come back. I don't have anyone looking out for me except ME! I have to do that for myself!

    Honestly, what I do for me, is work out. That's my me time! That's what I enjoy. I would go for a nice long easy going run for an hour in the late afternoon, while it's still hot but not blazing hot, and then come home and sit in the backyard for a few minutes before showering up and going about my day.

    I would have to say that working out is kind of my "me time" Lately with all thats been going on in life it's my chance to get away from everyone, I just put on my headphones, and get moving in my own little world.

    At the risk of sounding overly spiritual, I don't seriously understand this concept. This "me" time is so backwards from the proverb I try to live my life by
    "A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed." Proverbs 11:25 NIV

    Not starting a religious debate I promise!
    I think as women we are naturally generous and refreshing to others. We serve our husbands, children, homes, jobs. Oftentimes to the point that we forget to do anything for ourselves. I think thats what we are all meaning by ME TIME. Something you do to refresh yourself that makes you feel special. Aside from anything those around you might do for you.

    I have way too much 'me time' as people call it. I'm single, no kids, and stuck on this island for the next 18 months. I have to have a roommate so I've taken to going on walks everyday/night so I can be alone. I feel so much better doing this than just sitting around feeling bad for myself, and thank goodness for the good weather that allows me to do this.

    Hm. I'd spend some time with a good cup of coffee, probably something from Trader Joe's, and a piece or two of excellent-quality dark chocolate, and I'd consume this while sitting outside on a beautiful day and listening to Bon Iver or Iron & Wine or some other fabulous musicians, possibly while also reading books but maybe just enjoying the weather and celebrating the fact that I'm alive and thanking my lucky stars for the privileged life I lead. Perhaps also walking or hiking or just being someplace in nature while listening to said music. I get overwhelmed by almost all of my senses in nature and while listening to music... so basically if I relive the time I studied abroad in Bali... :)
