11 things you should actually do for yourself more often
This month I am quite proud of myself. People around me ask how it ‘can’ be that I shine (no, I am not pregnant). I just have my shit together and take a little more time for myself. Time that seems scarce in this hectic life. And oh boy, it feels so good. Let's see if I can convince you with 11 things you should do more often for yourself.
1. Cut all the labels out of your underwear
Come on, scissors in hand, heading to that underwear drawer and cutting out all those gigantic maps from those panties. Who thinks of this and why do we go along with it?
2. Take a social media break
What do you have to lose? I do it quite often (proof), completely leaving my phone aside. Just see what it does to you. You save time, have things to tell people that they don't know yet, and sleep better.
3. Take a bubble foam sheet mask
Hooooly lord, you don't know what you're missing.
4. Pack your suitcase not at the last minute
But just four days in advance. Surprise yourself by not always arranging everything at the last moment. Read here how to do that.
5. Cancel appointments you don't feel like
Is it really necessary to go to that neighborhood gathering? Did you see that friend last week and do you just need some time for yourself? Don't torture yourself any longer and say no more often. Fill the time with something you enjoy. You don't have to feel guilty. Saying no is saying yes to yourself, remambah?
6. Wash your makeup brushes
Your face deserves it too, huh. Don't forget about it. Exactly a task you have time for once you've checked off point 5.
7. Take your shoes to the cobbler
One of those tasks after which you go home feeling ‘proud’ of yourself. It's the little things that sometimes make a difference in life.
8. Really clean out your phone
Spend a few hours on it and you'll be grateful for the next six months. Incredible. Happy. With. Yourself.
9. Watch a really good documentary
Instead of endlessly binging Netflix series with too high an entertainment value. Let those brains work for a change, girlfriend.
10. Buy a new home outfit
Oh, this is so nice. A lovely fluffy pair of pants to flop on the couch with. A nice soft sweater. A new pajama. Buy it. You do it too little.
11. Look in the mirror and be proud
Take a good look at yourself. No, I mean really good. Through all the insecurities and shit. Look at the body that has been with you for years and see how beautiful you are. You are gorgeous. Just as you are.
