ANSWERS REMINDER #7: GIVE YOURSELF A TREAT

ANSWERS REMINDER #7: GIVE YOURSELF A TREAT

McDonald's had it right on with one of their old slogans, "You Deserve A Break Today." Life is a hectic combination of activities--going to work, going to school, commutes here and there, regular exercise, career planning, balancing your checkbook, spending time with family and friends, and just maybe getting 8 hour of uninterrupted sleep. That was a general list I made for this writing. I'm sure you could write a personal list of things that need to get done that would be even longer.

THIS WEEK'S TIP: I know you have plenty of things that need to get done, but if it can wait a few hours, or even days, take a little time out to give yourself a little treat to keep your spirits up. Make sure it is just a little one. Enjoy a mini vacation of whatever you find relaxing. Light some scented candles and talk a long bubble bath, go for a double or even triple scoop of ice cream, visit a favorite restaurant or try a new place. The whole point is to take a break from the everyday grind in order to give you small dose of relief before you are totally overcome with battle fatigue.
