Give YOURSELF A Treat?
Man, how often do you beat yourself up? If you’re like many, in one way, shape or form, many people do this quite often.
How often do you give that person you should love the most a little gift or treat? Not for any reason but just because you love them.
''One of the secrets of a happy life is continuous small treats.”— Iris Murdoch
I was taught long ago that to live a happy and balanced life, I should give myself a healthy reward on just about a daily basis and I try to do this. Whether it is just some quiet time, a "munchies" treat, an extra 5 minutes sleep, a few extra moments in the tub or a tangible gift, I try to reward myself for the progress I'm making. In working with others, I encourage them, as part of recovering the life they want, to do the same thing. It is part of the daily balance check list I use with clients, and this is a free download at www.hopeserenity.ca.
It's easier to remember to give those you care about a treat or gift now and again. What stops you from doing the same for yourself?
A simple thought (and I hope it jumps out the next time you are negative to you); give the negative up and add happiness to your life by giving yourself a small treat; a simple pleasure. Do it routinely and your happiness quotient will increase! I guarantee it.
