如果你想知道如何开始给自己设立一些专属时间，往下翻来看看我们和你分享的5条建议：

Go to the movies ALONE. 独自一个去电影院。

Yes, usually we go to movies with our friends, our partner(s), or family. In fact, some people might think going to the movies alone is sad and lonely, but the truth is, there’s something nice about going to the movies by yourself. You get to choose the movie you and you only want to watch, you get to pick where you want to sit, and you don’t have to share your snacks with anyone else!

你没错，我们经常和朋友、伴侣和家人去电影院。事实上，有些人会认为自己一个去电影院是件很悲伤和孤独的事情。但是，自己一个去看电影也有很多好处。你可以选任何你想看的电影，你可以挑任何你想坐的座位，你不用和任何人分享你的零食！

Visit a museum or art gallery. 去逛博物馆和艺术展。

Going about a museum or an art gallery by yourself can be very calming (and informative). You can explore different art pieces of artifacts at your own pace, you can choose the exhibits you are interested in, and you can really focus on helping yourself grow in the way you want to.

自己一个人去博物馆或艺术馆，是件很放松的事情（而且可以学到很多东西）。你可以根据自己的节奏来探索不同的艺术文物，你可以挑你感兴趣的展馆，你可以把自己放在第一位，把重点放在以自己的方式帮助自己增长见闻。

Take a long drive by yourself. 自己开车兜风。

If you own a car, this is for you. Drive towards a new direction without a map while listening to your favorite tunes or podcast. If you live right in the middle of the city, head towards a quieter part of town where there’s less traffic so you aren’t constantly bombarded by red lights and pedestrians.

如果你是有车一族，那这个是专门为你而准备的。不看地图，选一条你没有走过的路，一路开车一路听你最喜欢的音乐或电台。如果你居住在市中心，选一个人更少，更安静，少堵车的地区，这样你就不用为繁琐的红绿灯和行人而烦恼。

Practice your photography skills. 玩摄影。

In this day and age, everyone takes pictures - I mean, we literally have a camera with us at all times! So for your me-time session, get yourself out there, and sharpen your photography skills. Read up some basic photography tips online, and push yourself out there to take amazing pictures of people or landscapes so that when you do travel, you’ll be able to take great pictures instantly. 

在这个时代，人人都喜欢拍照 - 我们现在每人随身都有可以拍照的手机。所以在你的私人专属时间，你可以在外面逛逛并且提升你的拍照技术。在网上看看一些教程，鼓励自己在外面拍一些路人照和风景照，到你真正去旅行的时候，你的拍照技术自然会派上用场。

Take a class. 学一门课程。

If you have a couple of hours to spare during the week, invest in yourself by taking up a class on something that interests you. Whether it’s something physical and active, like kickboxing, or something more calm and intellectual, such as a creative writing course. For self-development courses, come try out coach Janine Jakob's "21-Day Change Challenge" to become a better you!

如有你每周都有几个小时的空闲时间，可以去学一门你感兴趣的课程。可以是体力运动，比如踢拳课，或是一些脑力运动，比如创意写作课。对于自我发展课程，来试试Janine Jakob教练的“21天改变挑战”来成为一个更好的你！

Even if you can’t implement these ideas, or that you’re simply not interested, what’s important is that you take this day by day. Start by taking time in each day or every other day to do what you really want to do - whether it’s just 5 minutes to read a couple of pages in a book, or taking an extra 10 minutes in the shower or bath. 

就算你没有用上这些建议，或者你对这些不感兴趣，至少你可以每天尝试一点点，这是很重要的。每天或每隔几天分配一些自我享受时间去做你想做的事：无论是抽出5分钟来阅读，还是在洗澡时多花10分钟。

Don’t wait until you burnout to take care of yourself. Take that step now, no matter how small it might seem! 

不要等到你过度劳累再去呵护自己！无论行动有多小，也要从现在开始。
