ME TIME

With the arrival of the post-pandemic era, there are now ample opportunities for innovation and positive changes to enhance our lives. Are you prepared to embrace a dynamic and diverse personal experience? Taking time for oneself offers numerous opportunities for deep introspection and self-reflection.

The adjustments we made during the pandemic, such as remote work, virtual learning, and online meetings, caused us to experience information overload and mental exhaustion. Besides dealing with the stress of fake news and anxiety, the constant need to monitor our electronic devices created a significant source of pressure. While technology has made communication and interaction more convenient, it also resulted in us being available almost constantly, causing us to be on high alert during most of our waking hours.

During lockdown or quarantine, when we found ourselves with unexpected moments of solitude, did you engage in introspection and self-reflection? Did you ponder the needs of your body, mind, and spirit? With the pandemic isolating us from complicated interpersonal relationships, we became more aware of ourselves and start seeking balance in life, pursuing harmony in mind, body, and spirit, and cherishing precious moments of solitude. As we honestly confronted our emotions, we realized that we have been bombarded by overwhelming external stimuli, prioritizing the needs of others, and neglecting our own genuine perceptions.

This year, Velo invites you to join us in focusing on selfcare and engaging in relaxing and expressive activities. Taking time to rest our minds and spirits and engaging in physical exercise can be incredibly beneficial for our overall well-being. Our goal is to promote the importance of self-care and encourage more people to pursue recreational activities allowing them to cherish and enjoy more “Me Time.”

Me time We interviewed several cyclists to explore how they balance their work and family responsibilities, unwind their minds through cycling and relish moments of solitude. Join us as we delve into these stories, reflect on the intricacies of being alone, and create our own moments of joy and fulfillment during our “Me Time.”
