Maybe imaginative play is what I’m lacking. Children
are good at using their imagination. I seem to remember myself as being a
practical child. I remember reading fiction till I was in my early 20’s. So, I
must have had an imaginative side back then. C.S. Lewis recommends old books
and timeless music for mental health.
I see both reading and music as luxuries. I really
enjoy both, but feel guilty when I take time for these pursuits. I usually
manage to sneak in some reading time every day, either early in the morning or
while eating lunch by myself. However, I rarely carve out time for music. In
the same way that I allocate time for physical exercise, now I shall take time
to read and listen to music. I will allow myself at least 30 minutes per day
for each of these activities.
