personal life

I like to treat myself well. Not only do I deserve it for surviving this insane life but also because it's soothing to the soul. It's rejuvenating and then it bleeds through from self respect to feeling dignity to even imparting dignity to other people.

Self care is a part of it but it's also just "treat yoself". For example, I often schedule alone time to listen to my favourite music or watch TV or sometimes buy or bake myself a cake. Not even to be sharing! I like to have chocolate treats in the cupboard or an amazing subscription (I've tried care packages, world beers and artisanal coffee and magazines).

This is a big part of my life because of how I often do so many good deeds anonymously I really have to reward myself as people wouldn't even know to or when to start. I also like buying gifts for people and myself. I often get tempted by a splurge in for example flying tiger, something like tiny spoons or a drawing journal or a peculiar lamp. It just brightens up my life. 

Giving gifts is something I spend alot of time thinking about, especially on a budget. It's very satisfying to get it right and receive a glowing thank you text ☺️. Christmas for example is a huge time for me and then NYE is the perfect wind down to kick back reload and reflect and resolve.

I feel like treat yoself is a whole philosophy of nurturing and nourishing directed at the self.
