Treat Yourself!

Treat yourself well.  I came to that conclusion while making my way through the halls to my “Laws and Procedures” class today.  A friend has just gone through a break up with a loser boyfriend of three years, she is feeling very alone and is very down on herself.  No matter what you say to her, she is sure her life is over, she won’t find another man, etc etc etc.  So here I am walking down the hall and pass by the student spa.  I stopped, called my friend, and told her to meet me after class.

She arrived and met me at the campus coffee shop. 

“It’s time to stop feeling sorry for yourself and do something nice!” I said.

I dragged her to the student spa.  We got pedicures. 

The change in her attitude was nigh on miraculous!  She was smiling, she was cheerful and when one of the hot little male coeds said to her, “Nice Tooties!”, she blushed!

“Now,” I said.  “There’s the bright and confident girl I know.  Where’s she been hiding?”

My friend turned to me and said, “She’s been feeling sorry for herself instead of thinking of all the good things that she still has in her life.”

“And to think it all it took was to have your toe nails painted pink!” I laughed.

This goes to show that we all need to treat ourselves well.  We need to do this for ourselves to learn that we cannot rely on other people to make ourselves feel good, feel confident or to feel complete.  By treating ourselves well we realize that hapiness comes from within and works it way outwards.  By doing something as little as getting our toenails painted pink, stopping to enjoy the sunshine, or to allow ourselves to accept a compliment, we instill a sense of confidence in ourselves.  We start to create a positive path towards an even better future for ourselves.  For only when we are happy within ourselves can we be a positive source for others.

So take the time out today to pick a wildflower for yourself, get your toenails painted pink or red or blue, treat yourself to twenty minutes of just flaking out on the couch and day dreaming of nice things or even something as simple as enjoying the lovely blue sky and sunshine of a nice day.  Realize that you deserve good things in your life.  Realize that treating yourself well is one of the best things you can do for yourself.

Love yourself, and others will love you also!

I am your biggest fan and I’m cheering for you to go and do something nice for yourself!

 

Email me and let me know what nice things you are going to do for yourself!
