How I Self-Indulge (Top Ten)
There are countless ways to say thanks you. This weekend I have decided to find ways to thank myself by using various methods of self indulgence. Unlike many other things in my blog this is something I would encourage some to do at home.
1. It's important for me to have a clean work area and living arrangement. It lets me know that I wake up with a fresh start instead of tangible things such as scattered mail and laundry to pick up. It is one less thing to worry about.
2. Cutting my own hair-Because I have decided to be bald, cutting my own hair helps me build self trust. I trust myself to do a good job and not miss any spots while giving myself some mirror time. Not to be conceited but to love the person staring back at me.
3. Getting enough sleep- This allows me to be alert and well rested so I am in a position to do my best as I complete daily tasks.
4. Staying in contact with friends- I am maintaining a strong relationship and providing support to the many allies I have in my life.
5. Reading-My sudden urge for pomegranate juice lead me to the grocery store where I found the book How Did I Get So Busy by Valorie Burton. This book will help me free some more time by prioritising events that are more important to me.
6. Sitting down to eat-This gives me time to think and regain perspective on things that are going on around me. Sitting down at a table differs while eating when driving. It makes a big difference, Peaceful even.
7. Embrace Life- Enjoying down time and maybe taking a walk to the store instead of driving. It gives me a chance to enjoy my surroundings.
8. Stretching/ Yoga- This not only relaxes my body but it gives me flexibility as I go on with my day.
9. Buying something new- I would do this in moderation but I purchased new garments as well as shoes to show appreciation for all the hard work I have done lately.
10. Smile- It is contagious and it is the cheapest way to improve ones appearance.
How do you reward yourself?
