Making time for pleasure and sexuality requires a decided effort on your part to overcome the feeling of inertia and fight the obstacles that confront you. It also means changing your perception of yourself, if it prevents you from enjoying your sexuality. Later, we will explore the question of pleasure as a key dimension of your vital strengths.
5. Time for recreation and rest Most activists have an accumulated deficit of sleep and rest because all their time is spent in work related activities. When we think of the distribution of our time we often feel dissatisfied by the meager time available for leisure, recreation, and rest. Time for friends is limited to obligatory or festive occasions, vacations are reduced for the sake of work, and weekends used up for other professional activities such as workshops or lectures. This routine leaves us exhausted, stressed and depressed at not being able to regenerate the energy we need for our family and daily chores. Respond to these questions and reflect on your pattern of rest and sleep: 1. Do you get to sleep for the number of hours that your body needs to recharge energy?
2. Do you need or take any type of medication to help you sleep?
3. Can you find alternatives, such as changes in your routine or habits that would help you feel more relaxed when you go to bed and help you fall asleep more easily so you are rested?
