afternoon . A nap can reduce stress and elevate the mood . Stick to a snooze of 30 minutes or less .
2 . INDULGE IN A LUXURIOUS PRACTICAL ITEM
Instead of splurging on something that is whimsical or unnecessary , allocate some disposable dollars to something functional — but put a luxurious spin on it . Think of buying a set of silk bedsheets or indulge on a high-end cut of meat for a family dinner . You ’ ll feel rewarded without feeling guilty .
3 . SCHEDULE A SALON SERVICE

4 . TAKE A HOT BATH People may be pressed for time when engaging in their daily beauty and grooming routines . A 10-minute shower might not provide the relaxation and sense of escape you need . Set aside a time in the evening to soak in the tub and let stress as well as aches and pains melt away in the water . Scent the water with essential oils for a relaxing aromatherapy session .
5 . FIND A SIMPLE PLEASURE
Display fresh flowers on the table , listen to some favorite music while cleaning the house or plan a homemade meal for yourself accompanied by a fine wine . Planning for a simple pleasure
once or twice a week gives you something to look forward to .
