And I had to think about it long and hard.
Because… It’s not difficult to come up with a list that I would consider as pampering things:
- Staying in bed till late reading a good book (fiction, of course)
- Coffee in bed, relaxing until I feel like getting up
- Visiting a new place
- A day off with nothing in the diary
- A gourmet meal (new flavours I haven’t tried before)
- A luxury holiday
And I could go on…
But no…
The real question is do I take the time to pamper myself? Feeling pampered is an amazing feeling.
It recharges, boosts endorphins, lifts our energy and makes us feel really good.
And yet… it is considered a guilty pleasure. Something that’s maybe ‘not ok’ OR can only happen when our long list of ‘must do’s’ is ticked off OR that we have to earn the right to a good, solid pamper session.
Honestly, is that fair? So, no explanation, philosophising and rationalising necessary – go and pamper yourself!
Just do it. Now!
In 2020 make time to pamper yourself. You deserve it!
Let me know how you’re going to pamper yourself, now!
