You set goals. You work hard. You take care of everybody. There’s always work to do, things that need to be done, people who need you. There’s very little time (if any) in the day when you’re not doing something. Does this sound familiar?
Everyone’s life seems to be so busy and full these days, that it’s difficult to remember to take time for relaxation, for fun, for enjoyment – for you. Bringing more joy and fun into your life and doing things that are good for you doesn’t have to be difficult, and it doesn’t have to be time-consuming either. Here are some very simple ways to change things up a little:
Treat yourself to wonderful food (I don’t mean chocolate). Go out for a really special meal, or take the time to find a fabulous recipe (these are easy to find on-line) and enjoy the process of shopping and preparing the meal. Use a tablecloth and candles and soft music – make it a special occasion.
Allow yourself some time to listen to your favorite music – just listen to it. Don’t do anything else while you’re listening. Or go to a concert with friends. Let yourself really feel the music, let it uplift you.
Arrange a get-together with your closest friends. Don’t make it something where you have to do a lot, just enjoy their company. Relax with them.
Do something fun. What is fun to you? When was the last time you did it? Make it something silly and enjoyable and time-wasting. Allow yourself to be silly for a while. Whether it’s a visit to the water park or playing lawn tennis in the back yard or spending time with a coloring book and crayons, give yourself permission to have fun.
Bring some color into your life by painting a wall or two, or hanging a colorful poster or picture or accessories.
Bring fresh cut flowers or vibrant, colorful plants into your home – bringing nature indoors has a very uplifting impact on your energy.
Treat yourself to a makeover. Get a new hairstyle, get your make-up done, or treat yourself to some new clothes or a day at the spa.
Buy yourself something special. It doesn’t have to be something expensive, it could be a beautiful cup to have your daily tea or coffee in, or a book that you’ve been wanting to read, or a new pair of shoes.
With so much going on in our lives these days, it’s so easy to lose sight of ourselves and to lose the joy in life. If you take time to do something special for yourself – particularly if you do this every day – you will start to reclaim the joy in life, the joy in just being you. Take this list and add to it. Keep it near you and every day pick one thing you can do for that day. When you honor yourself in this way, you acknowledge that you deserve to enjoy your life, that you deserve the best, that you can open yourself up to live your best life. The only question then becomes, how much good are you willing to receive in your life?
