A lot of people have been suggesting that I start pampering myself a little bit more to help with my anxiety and I was just looking for ways to do it. That should tell you just how often I do anything of the sort for myself. The first thing that comes to mind each morning is guilt about something or other, which I know is not pampering myself. Still... it's hard not to jump up and say that I should be working... even this morning I caught myself. I'm going to make a list (which I'm good at lol) of what I do for myself each day and shoot for one thing.

I've always found lists to be stress-inducing, myself. I wish you luck with this.

Other people's list yes, I can see this but not making my own... like today, I started another list of what I accomplished today. Hmmm, maybe this could be stressful to someone else now that I think about it??

@Hate2Iron My daughter, Pretty, making a list doesn't matter to me. It's me making a list that can drive me crazy if something happens and I can't clear the list as soon as I thought I should. I stopped making lists. Now, I tell Pretty what I "think" should be put on a list but I don't stress over it if the list isn't finished. It's her list, not mine.

I always pamper myself with things that make me feel good and we need to keep doing that

I have been thinking about that all this morning... as I tidy the house. I need to do more pampering between all the housework!

I think it is good to realize just how much you do for yourself and how is done for others.

What about looking at that list and doing something for yourself that is not on the list? Something new to pamper yourself with just a bit.

Have you ever had a massage? That could be stress-relieving and something you could do for yourself.

I think the way to relieve anxiety is to work hard, make more money, and then buy what you like
