I don't know if any of you feel tired lately, but I know I'm exhausted.
I often feel guilty about spending money on myself, and I'm learning that it's OK to treat myself every now and then.
Here are a few things you can do to pamper yourself:
1. Sleep In
Let your body and mind rest. Sleep is so important to relieve stress, so you can wake up feeling well rested, and it gets you in a happy mood. Put your health first.
2. Go Out To Eat
Tired of coming home and making some dinner after work? Screw it!
Go out to eat, or order in. Ice cream helps after a long stressful day.
3. Go To The Spa
Go get a manicure or pedicure. Why not both? Whatever you want. I personally like getting a massage. Either way, you'll be happy in the end.
4. Upgrade Your Phone
You deserve to buy a new phone. You use it on a daily basis, so why not invest into a newer, better phone?
5. Be Lazy
Catch up on your favorite show instead of doing your chores. Do them later or ask your roommate or spouse if they can this time. Of course, don't be lazy all the time, but as a human, it's all right to have lazy days.
6. Go Shopping
Don't hesitate to buy those shoes. Or that shirt, bra, bikini, dress, makeup, etc. Buy it -- stop putting others before you. It's all right to be selfish sometimes.
Take time for yourself. Listen to music, take a bath, go swimming, go to the movies, etc. When you get your paycheck, do me a favor and pay yourself first. We spend so much of our time working or studying that we often forget to put ourselves first. Don't feel guilty for spoiling yourself; you deserve it.
