Why having time for yourself is so important?

I think its beautiful to help others and we should always try to serve others, but at the same time I think that there is nothing more important than the time that you can spend with yourself. Life is full of distractions and it is very easy to neglect this most important relationship you will ever have, that is with yourself.
We are going to spend the rest of our lives with ourselves, so why not constantly improving and nurturing that amazing relationship?
Actually I have realized that many people are masters in escaping their own company. Possible distractions are endlessly available out there; videogames, tv, internet, work, alcohol, drugs, other peoples' company, constant stress and feeling of being busy, being very tired...what I am talking about here is being with yourself while not doing things or changing your consciousness levels by consuming alcohol or any kind of drugs.
How many of us can just be without constantly doing something?
Ofcourse I don't mean that we shouldn't perform our duties in life, yogafilosofia calls this our dharma. But it would be ideal for everyone to be able to nurture their prsecious relationships with their selves.
You can start by taking five minutes every morning or evening and just sit down or lie down and breathe. You can close your eyes and just be there, be present in that moment. Often when i do that I can feel the connection with my inner self. Often those moments give me the clear insight about what needs to be done next. It is like this inner voice that is talking to me, it actually is myself - my higher self. This is also the moment when many creative ideas come to me.
When you learn to be more comfortable in your own company and you actually learn to know yourself better it also helps you to become more kind towards yourself. If you think yourself as your best friend you can easily quiet that critizising voice in your head that likes to complain and make you feel bad about almost anything you say, do or about your looks.
When you became your own best friend, then in many difficult situations of life you start to lift yourself up instead of judging and critizising. I don't mean that you should become arrogant or proud, but you will become more emphatic towards yourself and your imperfections.Try to become your best friend by knowing yourself.
These quiet moment with myself are so prescious to me. Whenever I have the change I try to go outside to the nature and just be with myself. Even the animals can sense those peaceful vibrations as they might come very, very close to me during those times. It is like being one with everything that is.
