Me time is most important for all moms . Because when we have toddlers, our whole day goes with making them eat , taking care of them . We moms feel so overwhelmed that having a 5 min silent time without any disturbance feels like heaven .
So here are the top 10 to Me time fun according to me
- Read a magazine
Magazines are great stress busters . Though we read the same content again and again , it gives a great feel good moments . It creates a sense of calmness in mind when we feel a well written content . I have spent hours and hours reading magazines when I was in hostel in Bangalore and during all of train journey , I would finish 1 or 2 magazines .
2. Enjoy Having Tea
Having a cup of hot tea sitting in the patio while watching people is a very heavenly feeling . In India , we have this habit having vada, bajji , Marie biscuits while having tea and the combo is enough to bring out the good mood in us . The aroma of Indian chai ( especially ginger chai) – I feel that – nothing can beat it .
3. Doing makeup
There is something great about cosmetics. I started trying out makeup from 2018. Of all the makeups I love up the eye makeup . There are 100 s of YouTube videos to follow. Having a good eye palette and trying out the different types of eye shadow gives great joy. I also love to try different shades of lipsticks and different hairstyles.
4. Making list
One of my favorite time pass is preparing list – list of places to visit to visit , list of things to do , list of recipes to try out, list of art work, list of recent favorite songs , list of dance songs etc . All I need is a pen and a nice notebook and I can spend hours writing lists happily
5. Dance
I started dancing since last year . I love to dance for Bollywood songs and Telugu or Tamil kuthu songs . Sometimes when I wake up early in the weekend , I play loud music and dance to my heart’s content. It feels so good to dance and sometimes I record it to watch that later. Sometimes I challenge myself to choreograph 10 songs within a week and spend most of time finding new steps .
6. Puzzle solving
I am not very good at joining puzzles but I love doing easy ones. Mind feels very light and focused while joining the puzzle pieces and I feel very happy to see the finished puzzle . So whenever I go to Target or Walmart , I buy a puzzle and wait for weekend to do it
7. Draping saree
Draping saree is one of my favorite timeless . Finding matching bangles and earrings is another lovely thing. I have around 20 sarees here and whenever I get free time , I just wear them though there is no occasion to celebrate.
8. Blogging
I discovered my passion for blogging when I was pregnant. I used to read 100 s of blogs and used to get inspired a lot . It was my long term wish to have a domain and keep blogging. Finally this year I could do that. When my kid was small, I created a blog and put in every single detail of hers into that. But later decided to keep it private as I wanted to cherish that personally . Blogging is my passion and it will always be my passion
9. Do it yourself spa
I used to go for facial every month while I was in India . Here in USA , I started researching about how to do it by myself and I do facial based on what I research. Mostly I would spend about half a day for this.
10 . Art work
I love doing art work . Mostly I do sketches or canvas . I love to experiment different different types of art like Abstract, Madhubani, worli etc. Youtube is the best teacher and I love the time I spend on art work . It is so relaxing and the only thought that goes in mind is how to make it better and if coloring , what color combination to use for the art. I have seen my friends criticizing my art work . But I feel that art work is like meditation. It is not done like a competition where you need to compare to other’s work and comment . It is about the happiness we feel while doing it and that is the best part of it
