We all know the importance of self-care - eating well, exercising, meditating, and the like. Social media is bursting with articles on the five habits to have, morning routines to follow, and three tips to get you moving. I don't want to bore you with the same old stuff in this digital age.
Instead, let's do something fun today to make your inner child jump with joy! If you want ice cream for breakfast, cereal for lunch, and pizza for dinner, indulge! Remember when you danced to your favorite music in the comfort of your bedroom? Let's go back to that time and relive it.
Our world has become a give-and-take game, but today, let's give ourselves a break. Remember that bungee jump you wanted to do years ago? Maybe it's not feasible now, but that doesn't mean you can't celebrate yourself in other ways. Make that bucket list again for the 25th time if you have to. Don't go overboard and hurt yourself, though! Get lost in a garden maze, make funny faces in the mirror, play board games, or play solitaire if that gets your juices going.
Let's celebrate ourselves today and reflect on how far we've come from our hometowns. Remember when you were 13 - did you think you'd accomplish so much? Or even just survive this long? What we can do is amazing when we put our minds to it.
Remember, to perform for others, we must act on ourselves first. It's like the instructions on an airplane - put on your oxygen mask before helping others. So, what did you do today to connect with your inner child? If you didn't do anything, that's okay too! Sometimes, doing nothing at all can be just as sweet-the Italians even have a name for it dolce far niente.
