Well, are you? Of course you are!
You tell your kids you love them as you send them off to school.
You let someone over into your lane as you are driving to work.
You pick up an extra bagel for your coworker and tell her how great her hair looks.
But are you being nice to the one person who really deserves it?…. YOU!
When was the last time you gave yourself a compliment? Or congratulated yourself for a job well done? Or picked up something you’ve been wanting, just because?
As women, we spend so much energy and put so much thought into how we can show appreciation to those around us that sometimes we totally forget to do the same for ourselves.
Did you put an awesome dinner on the table? Give yourself a high five! (Even if the kids complained, you did a great job!)
Did you ace that presentation at work? Go in the ladies room and say “Congratulations!” to yourself in the mirror (even if you received praise from others, you deserve to say it to yourself as well).
Even something as small as remembering to pack your lunch deserves a little acknowledgement of a job well done.
This holiday season take a moment in between thinking about what you can do for others to give yourself a pat on the back for all you do. Being nice to yourself is one of the best gifts you will give to anyone and you can do it all year long!
