This is Day 10 of the 21-Day Journaling Challenge held in Nov 2011. The challenge is now over but you can do the tasks in your own time. Visit the overview page for all the challenge tasks.
Hi everyone – Welcome to Day 10 of 21DJC! :)Yesterday’s question was: “What Drives You?“. There were so many wonderful responses by all of you. Some of you are driven by growth. Some of you are driven by the desire to make a difference. Some of you are driven by money. Some of you are driven by need for security. Some of you are driven by death – from the death of those around you to knowing you’ll die one day. Some of you are driven by the love for life. Some of you are driven by connection. Some of you are driven by the ability to serve the world.Reading Personal Excellence, you should already know what I’m driven by. I’m driven by the desire to grow and help others grow. This is my life purpose; this is my reason for being. This is why I started Personal Excellence to begin with – to serve others and help them grow. It is my wish that we will be united as one world one day, when all of us achieve our highest consciousness.There was an interesting point made by reader J, who shared a Tony Robbins theory that people are driven by pain and pleasure. While it is a valid observation, a more meaningful way to classify our motivators IMO would be (a) love-based drivers or (b) fear-based drivers.Love-based drivers refer to motivations that are rooted from a higher place, above and beyond our physical self. Examples include desire to help others in need, to make the world a better place, to seek betterment, to make a difference, to empower others, and so on. These drivers can be characterized by the way they “pull” us forward in life. People motivated by love-based drivers act out of natural desire; they do not need to be triggered, reminded, or made to act. They do it on their own accord.Fear-based drivers refer to motivations that are rooted from ego and the physical identity; they are very much centered on who we are and preservation of self. Examples include desire to prove one’s worth, to acquire material wealth as status symbols to others, to achieve a certain “place” in the society to make his/her mark, to leave a legacy before one dies, fear of death, to put others down, to get ahead in life, to prevent pain in life, and so on. These drivers are usually characterized by how they “push” us to take action. People motivated by fear-based drivers act because they have to do it; it’s driven by urgency. They often suffer from procrastination, lack of discipline, laziness, etc in some areas of their life.So what determines our drivers of motivation? It’s linked to our consciousness level. People in fear-based consciousness are primarily motivated by fear-based factors, while people in love-based consciousness are primarily motivated by love-based factors. Since most of us are somewhere in between, we experience a mix of both drivers, with a predominant bias to one category.Ultimately, those who have reached the highest consciousness level i.e. Enlightenment will be motivated solely by love and light. That’s the level when fear and pain will no longer play any role in our life. Reader Bob puts it very well with this example: “… my thoughts are that in a higher conscious state we will not be affected by fear/pain although this might happen to us ie. the death of a loved one”. That’s because it’s at this consciousness level where we are understand events that normally trigger fear-based emotions at a transcendental level compared to those who vibrate at other levels.With that said, let’s now move to today’s question!

i enjoy spending time with myself
I enjoy spending time with my family: with my mom, my grandma, my brother, my boyfriend, my sister and her boyfriend, my dad.
I also enjoy time with some of my badminton-friends, some of my colleagues, some of my motorbike-friends, my gothic-friends, my old warcraft-friends, my jogging-friends, some old friends from school, some new friends(real and internet). I don´t like being alone, I like to spend time with friends and I enjoy almost every minute with them. Some of them are not easy, but I like sending time with them. Everyone has a story to tell :-)
You can say I like spending time with all people. I like to learn from them and their story. Over all, I love my family.
– My friend who almost never is negative towards other people.
– People who seems to have inner peace, be calm and don’t worry. But at the same time – be human.
– Tolerant people, who understand perspectives of others, or at least don’t judge others.
As I’ve just read the article about consciousness levels, I can sum up this:
I like to spend time with people of higher consciousness levels, but still close to mine – so we could relate. Basically with the ones who posses the qualities that I don’t yet, but am admiring and striving for.
I realized that there are not that many of those people around me, and that I happen not to influence too much with whom I spend time with. Of course I know some people, and I could try to connect with them more. When I am with these people, I feel very happy and even thankful that they spend time with me, that they talk to me.
By the way, that article – “Map of consciousness” is really great and explains a lot that I was searching for. Thank you Celes! I believe I’ve seen it before, but probably was too distracted to read it all. Glad I did now, added to favorites :)
I really enjoy spending time with my husband. We have so much fun together! We can talk about anything and everything. We can joke around, yet have really serious discussions and talks about deep subjects. We give each other energy and support each other in what can be described as some kind of symbiosis. It’s my very favorite thing ever!
I also enjoy spending time with my family (mom, dad, two siblings). We’re all much alike, but at the same time very different. It’s a lot of fun to share the same background and have memories in common.
I also love seeing my grandparents. They remind me of the bigger picture in life. Both of how simple and complex it can all be. I like learning whatever I can from them.
Other people that I like being around include friends and acquaintances that have a positive outlook on life and are generally happy with their lives and have a good attitude. They boost my energy levels and serve as a great inspiration to me.
This is such a tough question because this honestly depends on my mood. I enjoy spending time with my sisters, brother, mother, grandparents, my two best friends. Anyone who I can have a comfortable silence with and be myself.
I do not any soulmate in my life (yet); neither do I have much communication with my relatives and friends. I have been a loner these days, without much people to talk to. However, if I really have to choose somebody whom I will enjoy spending time with, that person would be a friend whom I come to know for many years, simply because this is the only person with whom I would enjoy talking to, and someone whom I would not need to restraint myself from talking about certain things.
That being said, there is certainly something that i can reflect on upon myself, and that is the fact that I would need to identify who are really my friends. I would then go on and build a deeper relationship with the real friends.
I enjoy spending time with my children, and my friends. I enjoy spending time with my friends. I enjoy spending time with my nieces, and sometimes my siblings. I enjoy spending time with my co-workers (I am blessed to work with some fabulous people). I enjoy spending time with my patients. I enjoy spending time with my college roommate. And any group of children. And babies. And dogs. Most cats. A good book. Sometimes even myself.
I enjoy spending time with my sister and nephew. There is something special about the innocence of small children. I love how they can find joy in even the most mundane things. Their observations about the world are often not only hilarious but are true. Even though they can be exhausting, I like that they force me to play with them and use my imagination from time to time. Having them around makes life more fun and it keeps me young. Without them, I would never have a valid reason to get on a swing or slide.
A few people come to mind straight away:
– My wife: I feel I can completely be myself in the moment without pretence or doubt. I can make mistakes, think out loud through ideas, and express myself fully without fear of judgement or consequences. It is a completely effortless relationship in the sense of being removed from societal constraints of manners, fear of offense etc.
– My daughter: I just love her from my core, and love watching her live moment to moment. Everything about her is perfect in some primal way. Being with her fills me with love, pride, joy, wonder, hope, and a degree of fear.
– Work colleague Shane: we have fantastic conversations about our paths in life, our hopes and confusions. We are at similar stages of having young children and being unsure of our career paths. In Shane I find someone with similar perspective and questions to me about meaning and happiness, and to be able to explore these in a safe, honest and touching way.
– My mum: just to be in the presence of someone who loves me unquestionably, and will always seek what is best for me. As I’ve gotten older I’ve also loved having more deep conversations with her about perspectives on society, and the challenges that are aging, meaning, and family.
– Family in law: catching up with them in a group is always like a party of sorts. The energy and atmosphere are high, and jokes flow freely. It is just great fun.
There are so many other people that I love spending time with (my brother, sister, dad, high school friends, uni friends etc), but I realise that the reasons are the same as outlined above.
Doing this exercise has made me realise that so much of what I enjoy in spending time with other people has to do with me rather than any qualities of the other person. It has to do with me feeling comfortable, respected, listened to, not judged. In essence I think my best relationships are those that feel effortless.
In a way though I think it is much more important how I spend time with people, rather than who the person is. If I am mindful and engaged, I am much more likely to enjoy the company and take something away, as opposed to being withdrawn due to ego or distracted.
I enjoy spending time with my Family, whether biological or not.
I am going through different stages when it comes to people that I like to spend time with. However, I mainly like to be around few of my friends that are honest, funny and just genuine, like me. The reasons for that is because I can be very quiet person around people that I don’t know well and that often makes me look like hostile and weird. Since I know how they see me, that makes me uncomfortable too.But, my friends just make me talk and laugh and sometimes cry. It does not matter where we are, but I enjoy having a cup of coffee in the house or nice stroll through the park on a beautiful sunny day.
Spending time with my childhood friends (a few) is what I enjoy most. Because they know what am I for real. So sometimes we don’t even talk, just sit there still… but we know what is going on others mind. In the process of growing up I met a lot of people , some of them became good friends.. but it is not the same as those friends..I do feel for the newer ones though.. but the few friend I am talking about are the ones who were together when we were kids and growing up ..became teenagers…and then were apart around the age of 19… in the course of time we all are in different career paths ..have families of own..but when we meet we can become those young ones once again.. no pretense..no ego.. no responsible grown ups..just our plain old self.. we know our dreams our pains and still can laugh at it together…
I enjoy spending time with people i care for, and those who care for me!
It is about people who are on the same journey as I. Who want to grow and feel, and become better human beings. When we have a similar quest, a similar destination and are using similar mental maps to get there, the conversations become way more fruitful and the company becomes enjoyable.
I enjoy spending time with people who are not shallow. Who are deep. Who are genuinely honest and passionate in their quests and their desires to achieve these goals.
What i dont like spending time with is time wasters. People who gossip or slander others, who have dirty minds, who talk about garbage, sexualize people and ideas, those who refuse to raise their level of being. I dislike hanging around people who take this world for granted, who have dodgy moral characters, pride in their hearts and money on their mind all the time. I dislike those who think they are right all the time, are cocky and have a know it all attitude. I also dont like hanging around those who spit out bathroom jokes all the time.
I do like to spend time with people with love and kindness and humility in their hearts. Open minded people. Those who have solid ideas, AND are willing to listen to others with an open attitude and mind.
The people i enjoy hanging out with dont have to be perfect. They dont have to have life all figured out. However, they need to be on the journey. Recognize their plight (as we all have one). That does not mean that i exclude those who think they are the kinds of hte world…i just get exausted by their company really soon. Not an enjoyable time.
The qualities of the people i define above usually narrow the group down. These people help me…become a better me. They help and allow to be helped. They recognize the need and want desire to become better people, move higher in their levels of cognition and help the world. Make this world a better place!
I am friendly with most people, but I consider few to be really friends. Trust in a true relationship takes time to build.
I enjoy spending time with my boyfriend, my family as a whole, my sister, my cousins, my aunt, and friends that I trust and can connect with.
Why? For one, most of the people close to me share the same values as me, and have a like-minded perspective in life. Yet, we are all different and always have interesting conversations.. the fundamental values are the similar though.
Spending time with these people stimulates me intellectually and can be a relief as they provide a listening ear /empathy/ helpful suggestions. Most of all, we care about each other and the sincerity in the relationship is a great.
All the people I enjoy spending time with have a good sense of humour too :)
21DJC#10: Who Do You Enjoy Spending Time With?
I’m a very introverted person. So if it weren’t for the last update, I’d definitely say it’s myself who I enjoy spending time with.
And since no one would benefit from mentioning the names of the people I spend most time with, I thought I’d just mention what type of people they are.
The people whom I enjoy spending most time with are highly conscious, mostly optimistic, appreciate life, have a good sense of humor and loves music.
That’s what I have today, see you tomorrow.
I very much enjoying spending time by myself and prefer to have my personal time, even in relationships. While that’s something I may enjoy, there’s something to be said for spending time with others. It’s time we
ll spent which helps to grow who you are as a person and helps boost one’s happiness.
I most enjoy spending time with my old friends back home. Especially my best friend. I have so much in common with those friends and we understand each other so well that hanging out comes very naturally and is fluid and unrestrained. I value that they except me for who I am without judgement and we all know how to have a good time together.
In contrast, I have a group of friends that I’ve known for 5 years now where I live currently but I don’t share as many similar interests or values with them. While they are good at heart, well-meaning, and would be at my side if required; our moral compasses don’t always align the same way. (i.e. watching a group text message unfold as they all decide to head to a strip club on a Thursday night) I sometimes catch wind of activities that I’ve been completely left-out of either because someone forgot to tell me or because they prefer not to spend time with me.
I also enjoy spending time with my girlfriend. She has a great sense of adventure and helps to bring me out of my shell and experience new things. We have a great understanding of eachoter and can easily sense the other peson’s emotions and attitudes so we are able to adjust accordingly and get along well without any fighting or drama that seems far too common with couples these days. I love the way she laughs at my stupid jokes and her cute remarks and quips. They make me smile.
I love spending time with my friends they always make me laugh and I am open around them . I also like spending time with my family , I love them so much and am grateful for having such a big and loving family .
I enjoy spending time with my best friend to share each other’s recent life how’s they is going on just to be a listener and speak out our problems, laughter etc, I play the listener roles mostly. I enjoy hang out with my family because it is very rare time we get along.
I like to spend time with my partner and my son. I feel the time with them is the time I feel comfortable, doing crazy things together without having to mind others’ opinion. I appreciate having them to my life and thanking them for making my life meaningful.
This is a really hard question, because sometimes I worry that I don’t enjoy spending time with enough people in my life, even those who I consider to be very important people to me.
I enjoy spending time with my family, but my family (including me) tend to be very quiet people. This doesn’t mean that the time we spend together isn’t valuable– I don’t believe we need to be talking all the time to be enjoying each other’s company, and there’s a level of comfort there that allows us to simply coexist together and be happy for that chance. Sometimes, though, I wish we opened up more (that includes me). That being said, I love my family for who they are, and I cherish the time we spend together because it is rare now that we don’t all live under the same roof.
I don’t know that anyone has ever gotten me in the way that K. did. K. was a very close friend from high school and college, with whom I had a falling out a couple of years ago. In losing her as a friend, I also lost two mutual friends. The four of us were a wonderful group, and I have never felt more comfortable in a group than I did there. I tend to be the quiet one in groups, mostly because I don’t like competing to talk in a multi-person setting like that. But in this group, the dynamic we developed really allowed us all to talk freely and comfortably. We shared real feelings, and we also shared silly jokes and goofiness together. K. and I had conversations that I have never been able to have with anyone else, and that I don’t know that I will ever have with anyone else again, as I have yet to feel as comfortable as I did with her. It’s a friendship I sorely miss.
Sometimes I worry that I’m not on the same wavelength as my group of friends from college, and that is why I don’t enjoy spending time with them as much as I’d like to. They are actually very positive and caring people, but some of the emotional topics I want to talk about don’t resonate with them. Also, I have a great interest in talking about things that are going on in the world, and about current affairs, just because I’m interested in hearing others’ take on things and on gaining new perspectives. But they tend to be less interested in those kinds of topics.
J. has made me think more about what kind of time I like to spend with someone than anyone else in recent memory. He enjoys talking about current events as much as I do, and we spend time doing that. He also likes being playful and silly sometimes, so we do that. But he also likes to have conversations about goals and about feelings, and I tend to protect myself in those kinds of conversations by making jokes. He has led me to see that that’s not a useful habit, and that I actually drive a wedge between myself and the person I’m spending time with when I do that. He’s also helped me to realize that having a conversation in which there’s some disagreement is okay– it can be enjoyable to talk even if two people don’t see eye to eye (that’s something I’m still getting comfortable with). So, given the fact that he enjoys spending time in the way I do, but he’s also helping bring out the better parts of me that I have trouble bringing out on my own, I really enjoy spending time with him.
Family and friends. If I had realized when I was younger how important they are to us, I would have worked hard to maintain those relationships. I could really use some side-splitting, tear-inducing, high-pitch-voiced, “please… stop” laughter.
There are a quite a few people I enjoy spending time with – my husband, my mother-in-law, my brother and my dad, my grandmother, my best friend from high school, and my coworkers (sometimes lol). I also love spending time with my cats.
I used to be an extremely shy, quiet and withdrawn person. I didn’t think I had any friends so I didn’t attempt to spend time with anyone except my brother and my pets.
I have changed a lot these last few years and I am glad that I have stepped out of my shell, as my husband always tells me. Don’t get me wrong, I also enjoy my quiet time, but the world is a much happier place knowing there are others out there who love me for me!
I enjoy spending time with my family and close friends, people with whom I can be my true self. I also enjoy being with people who are passionate about something, it does not really matter what that passion is, it is just fun to get caught up in their excitement. I do not like spending time with people with whom I have more superficial relationships; I would much prefer to be by myself in those situations.
I enjoy spending time with my true friends/family. It takes more than blood to make you my family. It takes real love and understanding to make you my friend. I have the fortune to be friends with my family and have my friends be a part of my family.
The people I include in my closest circle are there for many reasons. The biggest being that they are different from the majority of the people I meet. They don’t judge. They’re open to seeing the world from a different perspective. They’re able to be silly or serious, depending on the day. They really listen. They are not consumed by negativity or self-loathing. They support, encourage, and inspire me to find my ultimate happiness. They understand the importance of loving and caring for your “self”, in every aspect. Most importantly, they are there for me when I need them. Wherever or whenever that may be. We genuinely care for and love each other.
I like spending time with my friends especially those who have truly known me and keep my motivation high even at despair, who have accepted me as I am and are plain spoken. I also like to spend time with those from whom I can take something valuable in terms of experiences, learning, who are humorous , caring, loving, who do not discourage me, who are not fault-finding, with children who create the best feel.
I like spending time with intelligent people. I like descussed subjects which is important to me because I like sharing ideas for sure.
The answer is a bit obvious here, I enjoy spending time with people I consider friends. But, to get more specific — perhaps a top 10 list is in order… well, in no particular order.
10. My boyfriend. While I don’t always enjoy time spent in the daily grind with each, I can say that I truly enjoy spending time with him. I love doing new and different things with him. He’s the ultimate travel buddy. I love watching him discover the world, and I love that I can be myself, always, around him. I love the sound of our mutual laughter and conversation.
9. My dog, Morris. How can you not include your pet on this list? My dog just brings me simple joy. Whether I am playing with him, snuggling with him or just watching him sleep from across the room, he makes me smile. He reminds me that life doesn’t have to be so complicated all the time.
8. Yelpers. Wow, what a fun, diverse, united, interesting group of people they are. I haven’t met a Yelper yet that I didn’t like, and I’m meeting new Yelp friends all the time. This collective stretches me, challenges me and pulls me out of my comfort zone; it’s incredible that a group of people with only a website and a city in common get along so well and become such fast friends.
7. My sister. Ok, so we have spent the better part of our lives as mortal enemies, but something shifted over the last five years or so, and now, sister time is fun time. Usually. There is an inexplicable sisterly bond that makes time spent together like time spent with your clone. We come from exactly the same place. We don’t have to explain what we mean. Sometimes a look or an act says everything. We share enough in common to have fun together, but also have just the right amount of separate interests to keep the relationship interesting.
6. “The group.” There’s some overlap here, as “the group” consists of three couples: Jed and I, best friend and hubby, and JB and girlfriend. These are my closest friends in the world. We get together every other week (and have been for, like, eight years) to eat dinner and catch up on our lives. These are the people I call when I’m looking for something to do. These are the people I go on vacation with. They have all been there for me in their own way, and they always support me.
5. The band. When I want to dance, this is who I look for, and they are usually playing somewhere good. One of these guys is a close friend of mine, and I totally enjoy the one-on-one time we get to spend together because this is the person I talk to about dreams — he’s living his, and I think it’s inspiring. They bring out a little bit of my alter ego, and it is always a good time.
4. My dad. Oh yes, I am a Daddy’s Girl. I share several traits with my father, from physical to personality, and for that I’m proud. Dad and I can chat about everything from TV shows and cooking techniques to what I’m going to do with my life. He looks out for me, and he is the number one person I go to for practical advice.
3. Auntie. She’s the cool aunt. The one without kids of her own that adopts her nieces and nephews. The one who got me into golfing and skiing. The one young enough to be my friend but old enough to have been my babysitter. We share books and weekend trips. She’s always interested in talking about what I have been up to and where I have been.
2. Mom. For the simple reason that she is my mother and knows me like no one else — even when I haven’t even told her about everything. Mom just knows. When I am sad or confused or upset or scared or happy, she is the person I want to be around. I may not tell her what is causing what I’m feeling, but just her being there resolves almost anything. Mom is home.
1. My best friend. I never spend enough time with this girl. I have never grown tired of spending time with her in the 16 years I’ve known her; I’ve never needed a break. I love her to pieces. Whether we are out and about, sharing a meal, tanning on the beach, or just sitting on a couch, time spent together is always time enjoyed immensely. How she sees me is how I most love to see myself, and it is probably my truest self. She never judges, always listens. She cares. And, perhaps the best part of all is that it is entirely mutual.
There are several people that I definitely could have added to this list — so if you’re reading, and you weren’t mentioned, it doesn’t mean anything, I promise. It is interesting to note that in all of these relationships, during all of the times I have spent with these people, there is one thread that runs through. That thread is comfort. Nothing is forced or feigned in these relationships. Conversation comes easily and naturally, and when it doesn’t come at all, that is perfectly fine. Through all of these relationships I can find myself.
And that is the mark of a true friend.
I enjoy spending time with people who inspire me and make me feel as if time goes by so quickly when I am with them. It is refreshing! For example at the beginning of a new relationship, that always happens!!
I like spending time with people who mean a lot to me, people who make me feel good, people ho I can learn from, people who I can teach, people who challenge me, people who motivate me and people who bring out the best of me.
People who mean a lot to me are certainly my family. To be honest I haven’t spent a lot o time with them and I have to change that.
People who make me feel good are my best friends. I adore them and I’m so glad that I have them and that I managed to create a relationship with them.
People who I can learn from are some of my best professors and my cousins. I learn from everybody, but there are some persons in particular who I learn a lot from.
Bringing out the best of me I’s very important to me and I know that the people who surround you have a lot to do with that, they give a big contribute but in order for them to do that I have to give them the importance that they deserve. :)
I enjoy spending time with my father, wife and son.
My father is a very positive thinker and he is my role model. At 76 he’s still active like a man of 30. Hats off to him. :) For what I’m today, is only because of my father’s motivation. He always motivated me to move forward in life. Whenever I meet him I get positive energy from him. He used to motivate me right from my childhood. I love to spend time with him.
My wife too is of very positive nature and I like positive people. She also motivates me at times when I feel empty and I too motivate her always. She is as jolly as I’m. :) We spend quality time and enjoy eating together and sometimes watching movies together.
My son just stepped into his teens. Although he has his own friend circle, but he is very friendly with me. I’m his best friend. He is very open with me and speaks frankly. I enjoy spending time with him also. I used to take him along on evening walks. I love his innocent talks and like to answer all his querries.
In all I enjoy spending time with my family. :)
About friends, I’m yet to have such a friend with whom I can enjoy spending quality time. I would love to have a friend with whom I can enjoy spending time. But still the place of a true and honest friend is VACANT in my life. :)
