@amiablePeace77
my husband has gifted me with an outdoor office and that is my peaceful place. My backyard is trees and a farm. I love to sit on my back porch and talk to my members at 7 cups. With a large cup of coffee in my 4 fur babies. I have graduated hospice twice and recently survived a heart attack so it is important that I find my peace…
@Misty72
Misty, I'm so glad that you survived all of this. You have been through a lot 
. Thanks for being here with us and giving your support to others.
Nice that you have such a peaceful place to wind down!
@amiablePeace77
Have a wonderful Tuesday everybody
What does spending quality time look like for you?
Quality time for me is doing what uplifts me like gardening, photography, cooking, or an enigmatic conversation with a like-minded friend.
How often do you spend quality time with yourself?
Quality time with myself is very precious to me. I spend it whenever I can throughout the day. Most often in the evenings when I sit on the terrace with my favorite cuppa, cool breeze and myself..... that's my 'ME' time which makes me centered and mindful. This is also the time I Meditate, do Yoga and power walk. This is the best time of my day..... not to forget relaxing music playing in the background.
@RideaRainbow
Sounds like a lovely way to let the day coming to an end . Seems you take good care of your body, keep it up!
@amiablePeace77 I see a difference between spending time with myself And spending Quality time with myself. When I’m spending quality time, I’m actively participating in things I love, like playing with my fur babies, or zooming with people I miss, or doing something creative like crochet. Sometimes my quality time is chilling on the back porch when the sun is out. 😁
@yzzil
Those are great things to do! I agree, there is a difference. Some people spend lots of time with themselves but sadly worrying.
@amiablePeace77
What does spending quality time look like for you?
Quality time is doing things I enjoy whether reading, doing crafts, journal writing from the day or hot bath
How often do you spend quality time with yourself?
I do 2 hours a day one in the morning and one at night time. If I can squeeze more time during the day I will.
@pamharley003
You're doing a great job in taking that time for yourself!
@amiablePeace77 What does spending quality time look like for you?
Spending a time every day tuning into what is happening inside
@soulsings
This makes a lot of sense to me. I believe it helps to reduce worrying, particularly at night when our minds like to deal with all what we have not processed during the day.
I've been spending a lot more quality time with myself these days simply because the nature of my job has me working in the early mornings only. Meaning I have most of the day off for myself. To tell you the truth, it's kind of hard to pick sometimes what I'd like to be doing in my spare time. Some things I enjoy doing include reading, watching Netflix shows (recently I've gotten into K-dramas lol), and journal writing. I'm kind of surprised at myself that I've been journaling more considering I used to be terrible at it!
@cafedaydreams
Working in the early mornings surely has advantages, a great part of the day is still in front of you to do things you like. Nice that you started to journal more, I think the more we get into the habit of journalling the better we become and the more we like it 
@amiablePeace77
What does spending quality time look like for you? For me, quality time is going out with my husband and best friend J, and going places we haven't been before. Also finding things to collect at thrift stores together. Sometimes it's just relaxing and watching tv together at night.
How often do you spend quality time with yourself?
I usually spend quality time with myself in the mornings or mondays and tuesdays because those are the days I have off of work. I probably don't spend enough quality time with myself, I would like to spend more by including daily yoga or something.
@raininglillies13
Visiting new places sounds like fun especially in such good company. Yoga is a great way to connect with yourself, hope you will be able to make time for it soon.
@amiablePeace77
What does spending quality time look like for you?.....Quality time for me would just be spending time doing something I enjoy doing for that time-being. In that moment. Meaning to be enjoying what I'm doing, or to be Relaxed and feeling good with what I'm doing, or however I'm doing it!
How often do you spend quality time with yourself?.....As often as I'm able too... Usually several times a week in the form of a walk, doing things around the house, relaxing with loved ones, or just doing something outdoors that I enjoy.
@PoliteOcean
Nice to hear that you take that time out for yourself!
Quality spending time is always different and can depend on the people I am with, the situation, the things happening around me. I love just spending time with my family and friends doing nothing but just being together as much as I traveling, cooking, going to events, doing activities with them.
I don't think I spend quality time with myself a lot. As much I like being alone sometimes I think being alone sometimes is not healthy and the best for me. I am my own worst critic so spending time with myself only makes it worse.
@Ivy229
Self criticism can be very destructive and even lead to self hatred. It a good thing you know what can trigger those thoughts. What are things you could tell yourself to feel better when such thoughts of criticism arise?
Quality self time for me is anything that returns me to a peaceful state, calm, neutral, quiet. Quality time is like a reboot.
With others, usually quality time involves a balance of both energetic and calming energies, otherwise it feels "lopsided". It usually ends with a hug! (otherwise it feels like it was lacking something)
@onwardforevenmore
Reboot is a great word to describe quality time and hugs are priceless!
