Treat Yourself on Valentine’s Day
Lately I have been paying attention to how I treat myself. And I mean ALL the definitions of the word “treat”.
If I want to reward myself for a job well done, or comfort myself after a challenging day, how do I treat myself?
Well in the past, I may have indulged in a bottle of wine or a rich desert. I may have gone out to dinner and eaten too much of whatever food I felt like at the time, regardless of how that felt in my body.
On Valentine’s maybe I would consider treating myself to a box of candy as a Valentine’s Day reward.
What I realized is some of the ways I “treat myself” was not really a “treat” at all!
Not only that but I also realized how I “treat” myself is directly related to well, how I “treat” myself.
How about you?
If you have a rough day or a discouraging set back, what do you think?
How do you talk to yourself?
Do you comfort yourself with kind words and loving support or do you blame yourself or others or God?
And if you are not treating yourself well, if you are not giving yourself love, how can you expect others to give you love.
So think for a minute what are your plans for Valentine’s Day?
How are you planning to “treat” yourself?
Where you thinking about ignoring the day, pretending like it did not exist or indulging in some candy, or wine?
Well, I have some other suggestions for you!
TREAT YOURSELF TO LOVE ON VALENTINES DAY:
- Buy yourself some beautiful flowers and write yourself a Valentine’s Day card.
- Take the afternoon off and go to the Spa and indulge in self care.
- Go to dinner or Happy Hour with friends you love and appreciate their company.
- Buy a Valentine’s Day card for YOUR True Love who is on his way. Light a candle and write him a love letter. Place the card on your alter or end table in your bedroom.
- Love shopping? In the Feng Shui relationship quadrant of your house (the rear corner room to the right of the front door) buy a picture, sculpture, knick knack, or pink heart and place it there. Allow this symbol to represent receiving your True Love and call him into your life.
- Purchase sexy lingerie or a robe and wear it knowing you will soon be wearing it for your true love.
Take time to celebrate yourself and your life today!
“You yourself, as much as anybody in the universe,
deserve your love and affection.” ~The Buddha
