Hey, how are you all? I'm sorry that I didn't post last week, I was on holiday. Today, I thought I would talk about escapism, something that it a regular occurrence for me.
"I'm not a bookworm, I'm an escape artist."
Alone.
Is it just me or is it good to spend some time alone. And by alone I mean laying or sitting, just staring at the world and daydreaming. Lately, I have been doing this a little bit more and I have felt better for it. This one form of escapism that I use. When things get tough... I just STOP and THINK. Of course, you can escape through reading a book or listening to music (I plead guilty) but then, you aren't really alone.
Away.
I like getting away, whether to sunny Spain or the bench down the road. This is my way of literally escaping life's woes. I take myself out of the tougher situations i.e. girl drama and calm myself down. It is also super good to take a breather from the hectic lives we lead, as we are easily overwhelmed. Walks and runs are also great and the endorphins that are released will perk up your mood. :)
Switched off.
As strange as it sounds, when I go on holiday, I don't use social media or my phone. Holidays are the only time my family really see each other all at the same time and so I try and focus on having a good time with them. At the end of the holiday, I find that I am a lot happier. Nowadays, everybody shares everything on the internet. Why not try 2-3 days without social media and instead just TALK. It may feel tough at first but trust me, you will feel a lot better for it.
Do any of you 'escape' life for a little bit? If so, how do you do it? Let me know in the comments.
