Splendid view from our Hotel |
That was exactly what I did in a hideaway resort in Ko Samui, taking it as my ‘pit stop’ to really unwind myself after going through a ‘marathon’ series of coaching programs since February this year. Allowing myself to be ‘lazy’ and ‘irresponsible’ towards my duties/commitments for a week was my earned right to treat myself.

Grounded ‘merman’ |
In fact, it has been a long time since I knew what it meant to unwind my entire human ‘ecosystem’. Everything, literally, just wound down – muscles, bones, blood cells, brain cells, eyes, mouth muscles (from too much talking) and I felt the tightness around them being ‘freed up’ and I could really let the stresses go.
Such blissful sleep |
I also learnt that to be able to enjoy quiet and lazy moments with myself and not feel guilty about it is a gift. Indeed, it requires some effort to be nice to myself as I am a great carer of others. Caring skills is therefore not only being nice to others but also to oneself too!
