Hey MayaIndia Sweeties! As we prepare for the upcoming Valentine's Day celebration, I'd like to send a special message out to those who may not have someone special in their lives to shower them with chocolates and roses. Are you suffering from Valentine's Day Blues? Tired of watching the "Rose Parade" at work, wishing for a delivery of chocolates and roses that never comes? Guess what? It's totally acceptable to treat yourself to a special Valentine's Day experience. However, I hope you would consider making this a regular occurrence and do it more often than not. We all lead busy lives, and spend lots of time doing things for others and unfortunately put ourselves on the back burner "until we get around to it." I'm not big on resolutions, but this is a good time to make a promise to yourself to carve out a half hour each week to relax, refresh, release and rejuvenate.
I'm not suggesting an expensive spa visit if that's not within your budget. However, steeping a nice cup of herbal tea- or a glass of wine if you prefer, and indulging in a warm bath complete with soft music, fragrant bath salts and maybe a candle for some mood lighting can do wonders for your state of mind. Now you're probably telling yourself the children won't let you, the house needs cleaning, there are errands to be completed, and so on, and so on. However, I believe that those 30 minutes of relaxation will help you to complete your tasks more efficiently. You will begin to look forward to your relaxing "me time" and you will emerge with a renewed sense of satisfaction in your soul. I challenge you to try it for a month. You deserve to stop for a moment, without guilt, and indulge in some much needed pampering. Gone are the days when you must wait for someone else to validate you by showering you with gifts on a predetermined day, to recognize your worth. Celebrate your worth every day! Give yourself permission to take time out to recharge your battery. You'll be happy that you did. I would love to hear about your experience.
Until next time,
Stay sweet
