When you’re feeling stressed out and want to take a break from reality, you need to look into some ways to enjoy quality time with yourself. Between your family, your work and your home, often you forget to take care of yourself, and this is one of the worst things you can do. You have to take care of yourself first. Here are a few ways to enjoy some quality ‘me’ time.
1. Have a bath
One of the best ways to enjoy some quality ‘me’ time is to have a bath. Fill up your bathtub with warm water, if you like, add some bubbles or salts, and take a nice soak. To enhance relaxation, play some soothing music and burn some aromatherapy candles.
2. Get manicure and pedicure
Getting a mani/pedi is one of the best ways to pamper yourself. Go to a salon and spend an hour or more having your toes and your fingers rubbed, polished and moisturized. You can also have a manicure and pedicure at home.
3. Get a massage
A pedicure and a manicure are great options for spending some quality ‘me’ time, but another best way to enjoy some time alone and get some pampering is by getting a massage. A massage is something that everybody needs from time to time. It relieves exhaustion and stress.

4. Take a walk
Go outside on a nice day and enjoy walking alone. Breathe in the fresh air, soak up the sunshine, and enjoy the beautiful scenery that surrounds you. A walk will allow you to relax, clear your mind and listen to the inner you. Walking can have many therapeutic benefits.
5. Read a book
Can you remember the last time you sat down and read a book? Reading is one of the best ways to unwind. It’s not only relaxing, but it also allows you to escape everyday stresses that normally fill your mind. Take a good book and enjoy some reading time.
6. Go shopping
Pamper yourself to a mini shopping spree. Go to your favorite store – home goods, clothing, or accessory – and spend some quality time shopping without worrying about anything or anyone else. When you shop alone, you can concentrate and buy the things that you actually want to buy.

7. Enjoy a delicious beverage
Spend some quality ‘me’ time while enjoying a cup of tea, a yummy beer or a glass of wine. After you finish your work for the day and put your children to bed, pour your drink of choice, put your feet up on a chair and sip yourself to complete relaxation.
