treat yourself
If you're feeling like you deserve some self-care, here are some ideas for how to treat yourself!
It can be really hard to switch off from work. You might feel like you should be doing something productive, or maybe you're just in the mindset of responding to emails and working on new projects. The majority of the time it's healthy to switch off from work when you're at home
But if it's been a while since you last relaxed and just took some time for yourself, then it might not be as easy as it sounds. You might feel like you should be doing something productive, or maybe that thing is responding to emails and working on new projects. The majority of the time it's healthy to switch off from work when you're at home and have time to relax in between tasks.
However, some people can find this difficult – even though taking a break from your job is important for both your health and wellbeing, there are still those days where you feel guilty about putting anything else before work (even if only temporarily). In reality, most people don't need an excuse to do something nice for themselves!
When you do treat yourself, make sure that it's not always food based either! It can be just as fun to buy a new book, go for a walk in your favorite park, or spend some time with your best friends. These are all also really great ways to stay healthy
When you're feeling stressed out, it can be tempting to reach for a bag of chips or a pint of Ben & Jerry's. We've all been there! But if you want to be healthier and happier, it's worth taking the time to treat yourself in ways that aren't food-based. For example:
Treat yourself to a new book! Reading is such a relaxing pastime, and there are so many books out there—so many genres and topics—that no matter what kind of mood you're in, there's something perfect for you.
Go for a walk in your favorite park! The fresh air will do wonders for your body, mind, and soul; plus it might help build up those muscles while decreasing stress levels at work/home/school etc., which makes us feel good about ourselves too :)
Spend some time with your best friends! When we're enjoying each other’s company rather than focusing on ourselves all day long (like when we were little kids), not only does life seem more fun but also just easier overall—which means less stress all around...I guess that makes sense since everyone loves hanging out together instead of being lonely ;)
These are just three examples; however they might sound silly at first glance--they're actually very healthy things that anyone can do every single day without even spending any money whatsoever."
Sometimes it can feel like you're always being told that you need to eat well and exercise or find the time to meditate. This is all true, but it can also take up a lot of our time! We have lots of other responsibilities in life too, so it's good to set some time aside to think about what you actually want to do
I think it's so important to remember that sometimes we just need to treat yourself. It can be so easy to feel like you're always being told that you need to eat well and exercise or find the time to meditate. This is all true, but it can also take up a lot of our time! We have lots of other responsibilities in life too, so it's good to set some time aside to think about what you actually want to do.
If like me, this means that sometimes I'm going out with friends instead of doing yoga every day (and let me tell ya—sometimes those nights are amazing). Or maybe it means spending an hour at home reading and drinking tea instead of going for a run on the treadmill (which still feels great). There'll always be more things we could be doing for our health and wellbeing, but there will also always be other things in life that are just as important – whether they're work projects or catching up with friends or even something completely unrelated.
Enjoy yourself today; treat yourself and don't feel bad about it.
Treating yourself can be as simple as making time to go see a movie, or buying yourself a new outfit. It could also be indulging in your favorite guilty pleasure. For me this is eating ice cream at night while wearing pajamas, and watching trashy TV shows—but don't get me wrong: I'm not ashamed of it! Treating yourself doesn't have to be about spending money on lavish material things; it can also be about taking time for yourself when you're feeling stressed out or exhausted. Whether it's going out for coffee with friends or just staying in bed all day watching Netflix with no distractions, taking care of yourself is crucial for maintaining balance in your life.
Conclusion
The best way to stay healthy is to make sure that you're enjoying yourself. If you're spending all your time trying to be healthy, it can feel like a chore or even become overwhelming. It's important to take some time for yourself and not feel guilty about doing so! We all deserve some fun every now and then :)
