It can be indulging yourself in any hobby that you have forgotten amidst the work or something that you wanted to do for so long but didn’t make it until now.

Texting or scrolling through your Instagram feed is not considered as making time for you. Making time for you means to unplug yourself from the world for a while. This unplugging will help you in refreshing and re-energising yourself.

This is for everyone and especially for the people lacking self-confidence. This helps you in realizing that you are important and hence deserve the little time for yourself too. Don’t push yourself out in this time and just simply go for enjoying every moment of it. By making time for yourself, you are improving your interpersonal and intrapersonal life.
