🎉 4 Great Ways To Celebrate You 🎊
Outside of summer school’s Friday Minecrafting, my kids will typically choose a very different kind of reward for everything else in life - ice cream. So since this Sunday is National Ice Cream day, it feels like the perfect week to talk about how you can celebrate you!
Yes, this might seem cheesy BUT here’s the thing –
As we get older we can sometimes rely on others to celebrate us with a birthday gift or a raise at work. But just like unconditional love, respect and worth, celebration also needs to primarily come from within us. SO, here are five simple (no calorie) ideas that you can easily do right now or this week:
Write down one thing you love about yourself on a large post it and leave it up in your bathroom or by your morning coffee. Leave plenty of room so you can add to it over time!
Invest in yourself. Put a little extra into your retirement savings or indulge in an expensive health food. Whatever investing in yourself looks like to you - do it!
Get dressed up for no reason. Even if “I’d rather be in sweats pants” is your bumper sticker, take a day to doll yourself up a little more than the norm.
Say no, guilt free, and give yourself a break. Reassure yourself that you’ve done enough, that it’s ok to kick your feet up right now and leave well enough alone….even if it means someone else around you might now get what they want. They’ll survive. I’m sure of it.
Don’t dismiss this as a silly little exercise or something that can wait or be done another time. Any one of these are so easy, dismissing it is just another avoidance of celebrating you. What’s up with that?!? So, go ahead and do it! Then shoot me a quick email and let me know which one you picked or if you did something different.
Until next time, stay awesome.
