Welcome to the 2nd episode of Mind The Baat! In this episode, I talk through how and why I realized I needed to spend some intentional time alone.

Earlier this year, I went through a pretty emotional and rough time. Post-grad life hit me hard, and I also had some personal stuff going on. I kind of suppressed all those emotions to figure out my life as an adult. After two or three months, I finally found my path and achieved the things I had been working toward my whole life, i.e, having a full-time job I actually really love and the many other things I dreamed of obtaining as a young adult with money coming in. But in the middle of enjoying it all, I realized that I was getting caught up in a kind of fantasized version of this "ideal life" I had always envisoned for myself. It wasn't bad, but it felt like a distraction from the unresolved feelings underneath that still needed to be processed. 

That's when the idea of spending intentional time alone became important for me. I share how I came to that realization, what I have been doing to reconnect with my core self, and how it feels. The point isn't to downplay my achievements, but to check back in with myself to figure out how I want to navigate the next chapter of my life. ENJOY
