Wednesday Wellness Tip: LOVE Yourself!

In the spirit of tomorrow's holiday, Valentine's Day, I'm declaring today a day of loving yourself, and not just today but for everyday!  But sometimes we forget, so let's just say for today you're going to do some serious It's all about ME time today.  Maybe you need a little help remembering what ME time looks or feels like.  Well, here's a little list to help get you started.  Choose 1, 2 or all that speak to you and create some fabulous ME time fun on your own, too!  Ready.... Get Set.... Go!!!!!  (Is it possible to OD on too much happiness?  Umm.... NEVER!!!)

1.  First things first.  Wrap your arms around yourself and declare, "I LOVE ME!"  Ooh, doesn't that feel great?!  It's a little silly, sure, but what is life without a little (actually, A LOT of) silly?
2.  Get disconnected.  Turn off the cell phone, the TV.  Shut down the lap top/computer/Ipad.  Remove earbuds from ears, power down the Ipod/MP3 player.  Go OUTSIDE (I promise it will be okay).  BE in nature... take a walk at the park, the beach, the forest... breathe in the abundance of fresh air and the beauty of Mother Nature.
3.  Take a hot bubble bath and reeeeeeeeelllllaaaaxxxxxx.....
4.  Enjoy a yoga class, go for a run, shake your booty at Zumba, get moving!
5.  Meditate
6.  Read a book.  I mean go and grab a real book.  You know that thing that has a hard/soft-cover with pages in between that you can turn with your hands?  Yeah... that thing.   You don't have to go and buy one either.  There is this wonderful place called a library that loans out books for people to read.  I will admit, even I haven't been to the library in months and I LOVE going to the library.  Hmmm.... might be a trip for me to make today.
7.  Forgive... it frees your heart from the bonds of hurt/pain/anger and opens space for JOY & LOVE to enter even more
8.  Breathe deeply.
9.  Eat a healthy, yummy meal.
10.  Laugh... I mean, like, A LOT!  Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaa!!!

and 11.  Tell 5 (or more if you like) people "I LOVE YOU" today because it feels so good to share the love!

Happy Love Yourself Day!!!!
