(WE97) Unwinding With Ordinary Things That Give Extraordinary Beneficial
Facing a busy day's work, interacting with many people, facing traffic jams when going to and from work, becomes a heavy thing, ironically, we consider it normal as workers in a megapolitan city, like me.
Instead of a hectic job, I feel more drained of energy when I connect with many people at work. Dealing with customers, or getting caught up in a crowd makes me feel stressed very quickly. Therefore, for this week's blog prompt I chose UNWINDING.
How do you unwind after a hectic day at work? Meditation, a hobby, reading, listening to music, cooking, yoga, gaming, an intimate interlude? Tell us how you relax and unwind and why you feel that method is the most beneficial to you.
Yasshh... I have one!
Reading a book in my own room really helps me unwind from the stress of a hectic day
I'm really a monotonous human, right? Instead of going out to meet friends, getting out for some fresh air or going to a box office movie, I like to read a book in my room.
After finishing work, cleaning myself, I usually take some snacks and start sitting in my room to finish the reading that I like.
I purposely locked my room, and told the other members not to disturb unless there was an emergency.
This also applies to my two nephews who are very close to me. They'll look for me and ask me where I'm going, for them ... the house feels lonely if I don't play with them.
They will ask their mother, like...
"Mom, where did aunty go? Why didn't she take me with her? Is she in the room? Is she sleeping? Why is she so calm. This sucks!"
My youngest nephew's voice was loud enough to reach my room. I still continue my activities because not long after their mother gave an understanding of "Me time" which was done by me. But I smile hearing it because it's so cute. I'am sorry, Dude
How can this has some beneficials for me
As an ordinary human being who is not easily satisfied with curiosity, reading a book is something that has many benefits at once. In addition to being useful for relaxing me, I can also receive benefits from reading books because I gain new knowledge from these activities.
I also feel that reading books is something that can recharge my energy which is used up while connecting with many people.
For other people, there may be the opinion that reading books actually makes it harder because our brains are constantly working and digesting new things. But, to me it means a lot. I've been doing it for a long time, and find it very comfortable and relaxing for me.
Yay! I've finally been able to rejoin the blog prompts this week and it's been a pleasure to share stories.
Thank you, HIve for reading my blog. See you next week.

I love the photo of you reading and seeing your library in the background. It is very interesting how each individual has their own ways and preferences of unwinding.
This part made me laugh because I tell my children this quite often when I’m needing some Me Time. It is cute how they always search for you and wondering why you are so quiet lol.
When I was in the working environment I grew mentally and physically drained from speaking with customers. I enjoyed it (because I like talking and getting to know people) but it does take a toll on you after so long.
I’m glad you have your own space with enjoyable books to read ~ 😊
