Love Yourself

With all the multiple roles that we play everyday, to the point of spreading ourselves too thin, it is not surprising that we sometimes forget to pamper ourselves. We always look out for other's welfare but neglect our own needs. I have begun to embrace the idea of loving myself, and giving myself rewards for all my accomplishments. Do you share my opinion?

that's good for you, you can have ice cream as a treat!! I on the other hand, try to avoid carbo so my way of pampering myself is by going to the spa and by having hot oils on my hair. go girl!!

That is true its not bad to pamper oneself once in a while and just thinkof yourself in the meantime. Just don't overindulge yourself in it and you might get addicted to it sometimes. I guess its a nice idea to treat and pat yourself once in a while.

you have a point. Recently, I bought a badminton racket which cost me around 450 dollars.I have become a badminton addict to the point that it's eating my budget. Thanks for sharing the point not to over indulge.

I think you're absolutely right. Life is so stressful, and people have so much they have to take care of, that sometimes it is hard to remember to take care of ourselves.
Right now my major pampering things are taking time for exercise (usually involving my punching bag) and taking long baths with nice oils, bubbles, etc. Those are two very different things I guess, but they relieve different kinds of stress for me. =)

I'm glad to know that a lot of people share my opinion.It makes me less guilty, ha ha ha!! When I'm really stressed, I light some candles and just watch the flickering light. I also go to the spa once in a while, and I can't have enough of hot oils for my hair. As for you, I hope you will continue to have a peaceful life. Go beat the stress, we all deserve it right?

Totally agree. If you don't love and respect yourself you can't love and respect others to the fullest extent. And whatever you give, comes back to you three fold. We all work very hard for whatever we have so rewarding yourself should be part of the program.

yeah, what goes around comes around. Let's not look down on our capabilities but rather love the person in us despite all the lack .
