5 benefits of taking time for yourself

February 20, 2021 by Moumous |

Happy Weekend everyone,

I hope you are doing great. I just finished a life coaching session with a client and I went back to my thinking of self-care. I recently witnessed how poor self-care can take a mental toll on you. So as I was taking note for my next session with this client, it crossed my mind to debate about the benefits of taking time for yourself. Research shows that people who are comfortable with time alone experience increased happiness and better stress management. Enjoying time alone is linked to better life satisfaction and lower rates of depression. So here’s 5 benefits of taking time for yourself.

  • Improve mental health;
  • Spark creativity: Time without structure lets your mind wander so you can spark new ideas.
  • Boost self-esteem: Need another reason to schedule out time for yourself? You can boost your self-esteem by choosing time alone for personal reflection and goal setting.

  • Create empathy for others:When you have time to reflect, you can increase your empathy and compassion for others. Instead of spending your time in the usual circle of friends and family, take a little time for yourself. It can broaden your perspective, open your mind up to new ideas and prevent what’s known as “group mentality,” where people are heavily influenced by those who surround them.
  • Heighten emotional intelligence: Spending time alone can also heighten your emotional intelligence. 

How do you create more time for reflection? Plan or schedule out time for yourself, just like you would for a meeting or lunch with a friend. Close your door. It’s a simple but effective way to make time for yourself. You can also decide to practice self-care during this time by doing your nails or hair, a face mask or simply book a spa appointment.

    Great message, Moumous! I have to take time for myself daily or the anxiety and stress of life just gets to be too much. I generally lock myself in my bedroom for about an hour and do yoga and meditation or sometimes I just escape to read a book in the quiet. I really like your outfit in this post. That skirt has a really cool vintage feel with a wonderful modern twist. Thanks for linking with me!

Every detail tells a story: The bold frames remind Every detail tells a story: The bold frames remind me to see the world differently, with courage and color. The white blazer reflects clarity, purpose, and a fresh chapter. And, the gold accents? A reminder that value comes from within, but shines brightest when you carry it with confidence.

For me, power dressing isn’t about looking intimidating, but about embodying authenticity. It’s the art of aligning how you present yourself on the outside with the strength and vision you hold within.

Because when you walk in your truth, style becomes your silent introduction.

Styling is a calling that humbles you. Moments lik Styling is a calling that humbles you. Moments like this, kneeling on the floor, adjusting the delicate strap of a sandal, remind me that elegance isn’t just built in front of mirrors, but in the quiet details no one always sees.

Having the privilege to style fashion designer Stella Jean @stellajean_sj_ during her visit to Haiti @haifex.ht was more than work; it was a reminder of why I do what I do. It’s about service, attention, and the joy of seeing someone step into a look that makes them feel like their best self. The reward? That sparkle in their eyes when they stand tall, ready to take on the world.
