We have focused a lot lately on kind words especially in
emotional settings. Now we are going to change it up a little bit. This week’s
post is about doing something kind for yourself each day. Drive through Starbucks and get your favorite
drink. Or even go inside and drink your favorite drink while listening to the
great music they play. Go on a walk through your neighborhood. Take deep
breaths after finishing a tedious task. Take a nice bath after work and add in
some bath salt. Read a chapter or two of your favorite book. Just do something
to give yourself a break and make your day a little brighter.
Far too often we get caught up in our daily routines and
deadlines. We work ourselves all day and either feel nothing at the end of the
day or feel terrible. There is nothing wrong with routines, and deadlines are
important but being kind to yourself is important too. Break up the monotony of
your routine a little bit by doing something for yourself that will make you
feel good by the end of the day. We could all use a little more sunshine and
happiness in our daily routines and stressful deadlines. Making a practice of
this each day will improve your mood for years to come.
