Yesterday was a day off for me and a much-needed one at that. My to-do list was starting to look scary and most things on my list required me to have the time between 8-5 off, not conducive to my current employment. So, having yesterday off gave me the chance to get through the majority of my list and spend a little bit of time pampering myself as well.
Why is it so easy for us to take the time to help someone else out to make their life better but we rarely take the time to take care of ourselves? I find myself enjoying helping others reach their goals and excel in life while letting my own life fall to the wayside. So, it was nice to take a couple hours yesterday just to spoil myself. I went out and bought myself some new makeup that I had been eyeing up for several months. I got my eyebrows threaded, got my hair colored (beautiful blonde for the wedding), and checked out some clothes as well. I even squeezed in a workout!
The amazing thing isn’t how different I looked, but how much better I felt after some much-needed pampering. I was happy and carefree from just taking the time to spoil myself a little bit and it makes me that much more excited about helping others find happiness of their own. Take care of yourself first, make yourself a priority and you will have much more energy and excitement to take care of others down the road.
