We barely take the time off to pamper or treat ourselves to something we love. We tend to feel guilty and irresponsible for leaving our busy schedule behind and going to the spa, planning a trip, a day off, or simply taking an extra hour or two of sleep. On the other hand, when it comes to the ones we love, we want to show it to them in every way; we buy them nice gifts, treat them to a nice dinner, take them to new places, and spend a lot of time with them. So, don’t you think you too deserve the same? Self-love and pampering come in so many forms, just go for what you know will make you happy. And if you haven’t done so for so long, here is a reminder of all the reasons why you should pamper yourself.
1. Because you definitely deserve it. You owe it to yourself, after all the hard work, the challenges you’ve been facing, the daily struggles, and the fact that you’ve been neglecting your needs at times to make ends meet. You also owe it to yourself because of how far you’ve come, how you keep going despite anything and everything, because of your accomplishments, big or small.
2. Because putting your needs last is detrimental. Pampering yourself is not a luxury, it is a necessity; it is not something you put last when you have the time, it is something to make time for. Those times off you take to look after yourself will get you recharged. It will simply wash away the stress for you to keep going with doing life.
3. Because it will make you feel great. Just remember the last time you treated yourself to something nice and remember how you feel. How you choose to treat yourself is entirely based on personal preference, whether it is a cup of coffee and dessert somewhere, dancing your heart out, or a night in a luxury hotel. Whatever it is, an act of pampering will make you feel great.
4. Because one day off to pamper yourself is not the end of the world. It is your sense of responsibility that is stopping you from putting everything aside to take some time off for yourself but trust me your life will not collapse, the house chores will wait, the work deadline will be met, and everything will just go as normal. Plan it right and don’t feel guilty.
5. Because no one will do it better than you. Let’s be honest, why wait for others to pamper you when no one would better understand what you need than yourself? You know better when it is the right time and the right way to just disconnect and show yourself some love.
Lastly, let’s face it, life takes a toll on all of us, and if it weren’t for those little times that we choose to just escape our worries, fears, and stresses and lose ourselves in moments of pure bliss, we wouldn’t really be able to get up on our feet again, to face life, yet another day.
