I bet you’ve spent this entire holiday doing for others. Whether it’s buying the perfect gift or quelling your anger at a provocative relative, you’ve gave more than your share of goodwill. Now you’re spent, financially and emotionally. And it’s not even Christmas yet.
To enjoy the rest of 2016, I suggest another gift. But this one’s for you.
Make a commitment to do something nice for yourself. It doesn’t have to be extravagant or even cost money. A cup of hot chocolate, a yoga class, or walk alone can do a world of good.
Whatever you decide to do, remember to stop, let things simmer and then sip. Indulging in the world around you minus the chatter, obligations and worries can restore all the energy you lost.
Doing for others is important and key to happiness. But giving back to yourself is the fuel that allows you to keep giving.
Enjoy your gift to yourself this weekend, and our top posts that’ll allow you to find your own joy this season.
