Great Things You Can Do for YOU!

Lately, I have been feeling so run down. Tre's health, Anakin's growth spurts, and family drama have caused me to really neglect myself. This has caused my nails to break and my skin to become sallow. I think I went three days without brushing my hair. That's the life of a dedicated wife and mom. I'm not complaining, because I love my family more than anything.
The fact is, being stressed about taking care of people is really crappy for your health. I can tell you right now, taking care of sick people, was starting to make me sick. These are things that I have learned to do to aviod feeling like the weight of the world isn't on my shoulders. If you think you are dealing with caregiver's stress, I suggest (I'm not a doctor) to do one of these things for yourself once a day.

Take a bath, or even a shower.

Call someone you care about.

Make a playlist of nineties songs that you still love. I like N*sync, J.Lo and Good Charlotte!

Paint your nails.

Eat dessert first.

Meditate/Pray

Wear a fancy outfit because, yolo.

Use a hair mask

 Babywear!

Go on tumblr & send words of encouragement to other people. Their reactions are worth it, even if you don't witness it

Try a crazy make up look.

Make pancakes, have breakfast in bed.

Draw something. get creative!

Attempt a braid you have not tried before.

Have a cup of tea!

 Cut your own bangs! (only if you know what you're doing.)

Get out of your house! Go for a walk, Ride your bike, roller-skate, have fun on a swing set

Make cookies (here is the recipe for my favorite!)

Buy something for yourself. This one is hard for me, because I am addicted to buying clothes for Anakin. I like to buy makeup from eyeslipsface.com. Almost everything I have purchased has been awesome quality. They have makeup for as low as a dollar!

Have a movie day! Watch your favorite movie, or watch one you haven't yet. Or, better yet, have a Harry Potter movie marathon

How do you treat yourself?
