Reading about your date nearly brought me to (happiness) tears! Iām so glad you were able to make that time for yourself, with yourself. And perhaps my innate reaction is a sign I desperately need one of those too! As always, thanks for baring it all in hopes that others will uncover their own happiness right under their noses! š«¶š»
Our culture makes us feel that we must always be accomplishing something, so if you can have some solitude and just relax in the moment, that is something to cultivate. I like meditation, or walking (I used to run, also swim laps) for solitude. I never quite got away from the restlessness or guilt of not accomplishing though, not until I was older. It is worth the effort , because it more aligned with the reality of life.
Love your reminder to do it without your phone. I went to the beach twice over the holiday and forgot my phone both times. Even though I wasnāt alone I did feel like I was unplugged and fully in nature and found it really healing. Going to do that more.
