I don’t know about you, but I sure could use a break from my routine.

Of course, the first thing I find myself thinking is “I need a vacation!” Wait a minute. Hmm, I remember now, I just returned from a relaxing vacation a few weeks ago. Funny how quickly that wears off. Oh my. I certainly can’t go off on vacation every few weeks. So, what’s a girl to do?

Oh, that’s right, I don’t need to wait for a vacation in order to get a break from my routine and score some rest and relaxation. I can build some R&R right into my week. And so can you! C’mon, let’s take a look at just how easy it is to treat yourself to a mini-vacation any day, anywhere, anytime you need it. Here are a few ideas to get you started.

Indulgence isn’t a sign of failure; it’s an opportunity to experience pure pleasure.  Why do we go right to the negative? Why do we assume the posture of failure?  Why do we beat ourselves up if we indulge?  Why not change your perspective?  Why not look at indulgence – the word and the act – in a new light.  Are you entitled to some indulgences in your life?  Yes, you are!  (If you indulge every day in every way then the word and the actions lose their meaning – so that’s not the context I’m referring to here.)  Indulge.  Luxuriate.  Think about that.  Really let the words roll around in your head and on your tongue.  Say them out loud.  Slowly …  Indulge …  Luxuriate …  Ahhhh.  I like it!  They even SOUND wonderful and special.  Why not look at an occasional indulgence as a part of your life – a part of your life that you are entitled to? 

What can you consciously CHOOSE to indulge in today?  Choose something and then savor it.  Really soak it in.  Treat yourself.  And remind yourself that YOU are worth it!

Enjoy!
