8 things you should do to love yourself

GO TO THOSE DOCTORS APPOINTMENTS

Yep, I said it! You’re too busy working or juggling that social calendar to think about it I am sure but, you need these things to be done. Dentist, eye doctor, Gyno, and primary doc visits are so very important. Come on, we are all adults here and you need to act like one. Many issues that people have now can be detected early and will cause little to no bumps in that crazy social/work circus act you have going. And if nothing comes up, YAY YOU, now you have peace of mind.

GO ON A MINI StayCAY… ALONE

I know, I know… going anywhere alone today seems certifiable but, trust me, it will do amazing things for your soul. Research a small town nearby or just venture to the beach for a few hours.

New places can be scary but it doesn’t have to be a new town or country if you aren’t feeling too rebellious yet… maybe just a new book store or coffee shop. Dare you venture into eating at a new restaurant alone, GASP!

BUY YOURSELF SOMETHING NICE

Once a year, buy yourself that one thing you have been wanting but refused to spend the money on. It can be anything. A camera or new kitchen gadget, a watch or fancy dress, or even that cute accent chair that is just so adorable you can’t stand it! Go for it, splurge a little on you… and don’t beat yourself up over the money! Honestly, you don’t even have to “make it rain” on whatever it is that you’d like… it could be as simple as a $3 book at the resale shop. Just go do it already!

Doing things for just you may seem foreign and selfish but, sometimes you have to take care of number one… or make yourself number one for a day or so. I’m not saying drop all that you know and go spend thousands or even hundreds of dollars on yourself and ignore all other human life for days on end… I am just asking that you remember that a happier you will make everyone around you happier as well. Pick something every week, month, or year, and just do it.

Remind yourself that you are worth it and actually follow through with proving that to yourself, and the loved ones around you.
