In Brazilian culture, 'private time' (tempo privado) is increasingly recognized as important for mental health and work-life balance, especially in urban centers like São Paulo. However, strong family-oriented values sometimes make it challenging for Brazilians to prioritize solo private time. In the USA, particularly in NYC, 'me time' is widely embraced as essential self-care and personal wellness.
