I found your blog both informative and depressing… Informative: I am not the only one running around,doing things mostly for other people and never really taking time for myself, alone, no distractions. I tried meditating, running and some kind of exercise at home but in order for that to happen I need to breakthrough to EVERYONE and let them know what and why I am doing it, which could cause some problems which I'd prefer to avoid. Depressing: I have come to realise that most of the time my purchases revolve around loneliness. There are no kids to spend time with, my partner is often home after dark and there aren't too many friends on my side of town, most f them are quite far away, I find myself longing to 'do stuff' and nobody to do it with. This results in shopping excursions where I don't actually buy anything, I just enjoy the atmosphere of people and things to look at. Depressing to say the least. I am sure that I can turn it all around with a few 'new friends' and a gym contract but my mind is not in that space at the moment. Anyhow...Definite slowdown required, half an hour of 'me' time every day needed... then we'll see. Thanks for the article. Hi Deon.
