How do you give yourself a treat?

We all get busy with work and family everyday, that we often have no time left for ourselves. When we get consumed with the role of being an employee, mother, father, son, daughter or friend, when does the ME part enter in the picture? How often do we give ourselves a treat and how do we spend it?
I give myself a treat after a job well done, or on those days that I feel overworked and tired. I go malling all day alone, eat something different, or buy something for myself, for a change. I always think of everybody else and and I always leave me, as last priority. I seldom splurge on something that I like, so I do it on those days. I've always wanted to do a day of self pampering at a spa, but I haven't got the time to do it, well, that's next on my list. So how do you do it, your way?

My cute niece is the one that take away my stress from work, as she is so cuddly and caring for his tired uncle!;)
I also have my friends, as we try to get-together every weekends. We talk and chat times, and sometimes we cannot avoid a drink or two. We do this simply to savor the fruits of our own hard labors, to make the conversation long and exciting!;)

Yep, children are one of he greatest stress givers and stress busters rolled into one. They give you either anytime of the day. :) I also miss get togethers with my friends, good that you're able to do that. Right now, I don't have the time for that too. It's great to grab a drink or two sometimes and just laugh off our worries away.

I always treat myself with food whenever I feel too stressed out and burn out. Food will always be my nicotine to pamper myself. Sometimes if I have more budget then I buy something for myself that I really love like cd, clothes and shoes. I'm a bit materialistic but this is the way I found myself happy.

Its rare for me to think of pampering myself because i could be so busy about work and others. When i have to give myself a treat, i take a break from work and everyone else and spend the time alone eating and drinking what i feel like, resting/relaxing, reading, praying, playing and just having fun!
