Break the Illusion Blog by Davey Wavey

This past Saturday night, I cheated on my boyfriend – and loved every last minute of it. I went on a date with… myself. And I’d do it again in a heart beat.

The holidays are always super busy. We all have a million commitments to do this and that, and so much of our attention is focused outward. To turn inward and make an evening of calm amidst the chaos, I decided to go on a date with me.

First, I downloaded Marianne Williamson’s new book, A Course in Weight Loss. A friend recommended that I read the book, as much of the information is relevant to my own life philosophies and the topics that I discuss at Davey Wavey Fitness. The book is incredibly powerful and refreshing – it was wonderful to spend a few hours with it.

Then, I lit a few candles around my tub and took a long, soaking bath in the dark. With a long list of things to do, I promised myself that I wouldn’t feel guilty while taking the time for myself. And I didn’t. I savored and enjoyed every minute of it.

Afterward, I cooked a nutritious meal to honor my body and watched an action movie on pay-per-view before calling it an early night.

When things get hectic, it’s not always easy to make time for ourselves. But when things get hectic, it’s especially important to do so. By taking an evening for myself, I’m able to greet the world and my long to-do list with a more present, aware, grateful and loving self. I’m able to be the best version of myself.

Cheating on my boyfriend and taking myself on a date was a wonderful experience. I’d encourage you to do the same, especially if you don’t have the time.
