*the best way to dedicate some quality time with yourself is have a night in to pamper yourself

Self love equals more love to share

As a busy woman, I can honestly say that I do not care for myself as much as I should. I also feel that many of the woman in my life also fall into the same trap about not caring for themselves as one should. Throughout the years I see time and time again that woman will tend to place everyone else above them. As life continues and develops in many different ways, it is important give our own self, the love that we give to others.

We tell our girlfriends to make sure they dedicate some time in their busy day to relax and do something they love. You tell the people around you, to indulge and treat themselves by buying that dress they have been eyeing on or insist that they get that small dessert when you know they are on diet. We even tell our friends that they are amazing and they can do no wrong so try that bright neon orange lipstick…ok maybe this is too far! However, we will find ways to understand and sympathize with others but never to ourselves.

What I am beginning to realize is that self love is okay and its actually the best way to build and maintain relationships. You hear that positive energy will attract positive energy and isn’t that the truth. When we show the people around us that we can care for ourselves as much as we care for others , then people will naturally gravitate towards us. As a female, I need the time to relax, reflect and do all the activities I love to do.

*When I’m stressed I always lean to baking , cupcakes are one of my favorites to decorate.

Take the time to appreciate yourself by taking hours in the afternoon to read a book you’ve been meaning to read, maybe take some time baking those cupcakes that you love to create so much or spend the evening giving yourself a man/pedi. Whatever it is just make sure you continue to be generous yourself while spreading love to others.
