Reason number 49 why I decided to make self-care a priority in 2018 is…
Self-care is the best gift.
As we are in the whirlwind of the holiday season (just exited), you may be overwhelmed with the thought of gift giving and the amount of “sale” emails you are receiving. You may be gifting on a budget or just walking in your truth and letting people know that due to your own financial goals, gifting is canceled this year.
Whatever your story is this year, the best gift you can give to yourself and others is the gift of self-care. This gift does not need a special holiday marked on the calendar in order for it to be exchanged. This is a gift that can be given any day of the year without coupon codes (unless you are participating in a self-care activity that costs money…there is no shame in getting a good deal).
Give a friend or family member the gift of babysitting or a gift card to a restaurant or movie theater for a date night with a significant other or solo. {Note: Dating yourself can be fun too. Try it regardless of your relationship status.}
What gift will you give to yourself? What gift will you give to others?
Self-care is giving. Why not give the best gift? Give self-care.
Be well,
