Good morning Meli,
I struggled with a concept of doing anything just for myself as I am a natural nurturer and giver, until I understood how the mask on the airplane analogy works and why it’s important to implement that approach to my life.
Now I am slowly getting better at doing things just for myself, for everybody’s sake. |

"Spent some work vouchers on some new clothes a few days ago
But other than that I don’t treat myself. Maybe to a bath  "
A bath is a treat! It doesn't have to be big things, it could be carving out some time for yourself during a busy period. New clothes are always a win. x |

"What about you OP  "
Well I got some bangs cut in my hair finally (you know this). They're now a lot more bangs then before because I've cut them a bit more this morning.
I'm going to go for a walk and grab a coffee shortly. I also bought the most beautiful SKIMS dress in the sales as a well done me for weight loss.
I'm on a bit of a treat yo'self thing atm. |

"On Christmas eve I walked around the surrounding area looking at all the Christmas lights.  "
 People have already started taking decorations down and that's quite a shame, they really do make the world that bit prettier. |

Yes, that airplane analogy can really help you see things a bit differently, can't it? There shouldn't be any guilt or negative feelings towards doing something just for you - it's good to stop and take that time. You can't give of yourself if you don't ever recharge. |

I got a decent bonus i wasnt expecting on Friday when I finished a hard period of work, blew it all on clothes on Saturday Also, most of the money I earned from said work has paid for my months holiday in January. I do indeed treat myself lol but I work hard for it so I also believe I deserve it.
I can't take any saved money with me when I die, I have no kids and my mum earns more than I do at an awesome job, if I die tomorrow my insurance with cover my burial. So, I like to spend |

I like treating myself by taking myself for a spa day 
A day of chill on heated lounges, in the sauna, hot tub and having a bit of afternoon tea and a treatment
What about you Meli?

You're back! I'll have to think of something smuttier to post later.
Spa days are brilliant aren't they? I hope you're able to treat yourself soon.
I'm not good at it most of the year - guilt and being really rather busy means I don't it as often as I perhaps should. My recent treat to myself was replying yes to a voicenote. |

Oooh yes please...
Yes, love spa days! Hopefully sometime in the new year, although we're saving for a nice lodge break in May.
Aw that's a shame. Everyone deserves a break, even if it's just a nice night in, a hot bath, bit of a pamper, I think you should try and prioritise yourself more where you can next year it'll do you the world of good!

I bought myself a coat that I have been coveting for AGES. It was in the sale and then there was an extra 20% off. It was meant to be!
Now I just need to keep my fingers crossed that it gets delivered and not lost in a parcel depot somewhere. |

I've just ordered a fleecey lounge set and some perfume with my birthday/Christmas money.
I'm thinking the rest, I might treat myself every month either getting my hair, nails, massage, reflexology for the next 12 months , as something just for me. |

Right now! I'm sat all by myself on the sofa, with a coffee listening to music videos on the TV whilst scrolling Fab.
Why do I always feel guilty though and feel I should be doing something productive?  |

"What was the last thing you did for you?
Do you make sure you take time for yourself?
How do you treat yo'self?"
A few years back, I took stock.
Work - giving the most of my day to other people's problems and other people's deadlines.
Teaching - giving my personal time to give my knowledge to others.
Stocktake - Me giving = 100%. Me getting = 0%
Outcome: Make sure I do something solely for me.
Result - A happier more balanced Killan |
