3 . Do something that makes you feel pretty each morning .
Put on your favorite earrings , red lipstick or dab of perfume . Sometimes brushing my teeth is all I can manage , so I like to use a fancy pink grapefruit toothpaste ( that I just happened to get a ton of free at a blogging conference ).
Start the day off doing something special just for you before you start being torn a million different directions . You are worth it .
4 . Eat something you like .
Note , I didn ’ t say try to get your kid to like it . I love kielbasa . My family complains about even the smell of it . I ’ m going to make a big skillet of turkey kielbasa with sauerkraut this weekend . For me . Because I deserve to cater to myself sometimes and so do you .
5 . Learn about something that interests you .
It ’ s okay if it ’ s wine , chocolate or even Harry Styles - no judgement here ! Take some time to explore an interest and widen your mental horizons .
6 . Plan a vacation .
Even if you don ’ t have the time or funds to go on the vacation . Research shows just planning the vacation is relaxing . So where would you like to go on this imaginary getaway ? I ’ m going to double dip with # 5 here and learn about Caribbean all inclusive resorts .
