Important to take time off for self-care


IS “me time” a privilege? Yes, it is – and it’s mainly because not everyone in this day and economy has the time and resources to just drop everything and go for a short vacation for some quality personal time. In fact, most are not even able to find some time in the day to take a nap!

To be honest, in my younger days, I was not aware of the importance of rest. I don’t think the concept of me time was even popular back then. I used to laugh at Patrick Jane (the character played by Simon Baker, one of my favourite actors) for taking a nap in The Mentalist television series.
