It’s so easy to get caught up in this thing called life. Yet, every moment is precious. Every minute is a blessing. Sometimes situations and circumstances try to get the best of us. We get tired. We get frustrated. We get angry. We lose focus. At times we even want to give up. We feel defeated.
Although life has its way of attempting to throw you off, you still have the power to balance. You have the power to unplug. Sometimes the idea of unplugging seems selfish. But in all honesty, sometimes it’s just something that you need to do for your own health, physically and mentally.
How you treat yourself directly affects your self esteem. Whether you talk down on yourself and beat yourself up when you make mistakes or you speak affirmations and take care of yourself, the way you treat yourself affects how you value yourself. That’s why it’s imperative to be intentional about the love you give yourself.
But maybe self love is new for you. Maybe you don’t know what it means to love you. Maybe you’re a person that doesn’t want for anything, believe it or not there’s things that don’t matter, until they do. Learn to develop monthly or weekly self care tasks. It will literally change your life.
Here’s a list of self care fun:
- Facial
- Manicure/Pedicure
- Buy yourself fresh flowers
- Date yourself
- Clean your house or apartment
- Watch your favorite movie
- Candlelight bath
- Organize your workspace and files
- Rest/Relax

These are just a few ideas. No matter what works for you, stick to it. Remember, it’s all about you!
