We always SAY we’re treating ourselves right, but are we really? Are the things we think are helping us actually harming us?
Being stressed out does not mean you’re being responsible.
Depriving yourself or shaming yourself does not mean you’re being healthy.
Dwelling on the past or living in the future will not get you to where you want to be.
This weekend (and beyond, of course), I’m challenging us to ACTUALLY treat ourselves right.
* Talk to yourself the way you’d talk to your best friend/someone you love.
* Savor (and I mean really savor) every sight, sound, bite, conversation, and moment.
* Give yourself permission to go at least 24 hours without working, or even thinking about work.
* Eat and move for the pleasure of it.
* Write down the things that have been hold you back and tying you down (whether you realized it or not). This is the weekend to release those things once and for all.
* Put a little extra time into getting ready. Wear your favorite outfit…even if it means you’re slightly overdressed.
* Be okay with saying no.
* …but also be okay with saying yes, even if it’s breaking your “normal” routine. Because don’t forget - YOLO 😉
* Treat yourself right, darling.
Thanks for the post, it was just the reminder I needed — especially about talking to yourself the way a good friend would. Have a good weekend!
Love this! People (myself included) don’t put themselves first enough. I’m working hard on learning to say no, which is SO. HARD. for a people-pleaser.
I need to print this out and put it on my mirror.
HAPPY FRIDAY LOVE MUFFIN!
Love all of these! Easier said than done, but I can guarantee at least that I will go my whole weekend without thinking about work : )
Love this post. Especially the saying no/yes debate because I am always torn between both of those things!
Good word Gracie! This is good stuff; I am encouraged by your honesty and truth telling on your blog !
