Monthly Intention- Pamper Yourself

Welcome to the fourth installment of our monthly intention setting ritual.

For more details on what this is all about see this post right over here.
If you missed last months post, or any other I encourage you to check them out over here.

This months intention should be a pretty fun one. It's no secret that life gets crazy and sometimes we get so caught up caring for other people that we forget to take the time for our own self care. That's not to say we don't feed and clothe ourselves. I'm talking about the kind of self care that feels decadent and unnecessary. I'm here to tell you that it is necessary! This month we are going to focus on pampering ourselves as much as possible.

Now 'pamper' is a relative term. It changes from person to person so you are going to have to use your noggin and define your terms and once you do...indulge yourself!

Ways to make it happen:



*Get a new hair-do. (Cut, color, even just a blow out. Sometimes just having someone play with your hair feels fancy.)
*Treat yourself to a spa day. (If it's not within your budget to go out then create your own spa at home. Buy a new nail polish shade and give yourself a mani/pedi.)
*Take the night off. (If you always make dinner after work, order in, if you are always busy with your children in the evenings, explain what you are doing and ask your partner to pick up the slack for the night then do whatever you want! Even if it's nothing at all.)
*Take a nice long hot soak in the tub. Light some yummy smelling candles, use some luscious soaps and relax.
*Eat some of your favorite comfort food. (Homemade mac and cheese and chocolate chip cookies are my favorites.)
*Have a girls night out. Get together with your closest girlfriends and go out for drinks or have a slumber party.
*If you start to have difficulties or if you hear a voice in your head telling you that you don't deserve it tell that voice to stuff it! You absolutely 100% deserve it. Keep reminding  yourself of your intended goal and repeat your intention if you have to. An example of which is "I deserve to be pampered and I am going to take the time to do it this month."
