When was the last time you did something nice for yourself and what was it?

[Me Myself and I]

Mine was last week, I decided to pamper myself :whistling:... Because (Me Myself and I) needed to be reminded of how much I appreciate the hard work we are doing together. Sooo... I finally went out to buy that pair of shoes I've had my eyes on for quite a while now, drove along the coast for some me-time - which was absolutely great, and finally went to get some plants to add to the ones I have in my room, to have an even nicer atmosphere!! :D

How about you? When was the last time you did something nice for yourself and what was it?

Mine was today. I have been really struggling at work for the past few months today was just this epiphany that I needed a break because I was burnt out. I put in for a long weekend and have Friday to Tuesday off.

I ordered myself a locket ring with a credit card I really shouldn't be racking up bills on. But I want to put my son's picture in it so that I have something to give myself strength when things get tough. And they're tough all the time now.

I bought myself an Apple watch. It arrived yesterday. I can barely afford it but I love it. It has a no nonsense breathing app built in and if all else fails I can bury myself in all the data :)

 

[Friday]

I really can't remember.

I used to have a rule about doing something fun every day. It was on my chores list, along with everything else. It's been a looooong time since that list was in use. The closest I can come to doing something nice for myself have some "that should be normal" qualifiers attached to them. Shrug. Except they haven't been normal for a few years.

The most recent not-depressing thing was from last March. 2016, last March. Not this years March. FFS.

Voila. Just did a handstand for no reason whatsoever. So, today. And that.

I splurged $10 whole dollars on a Mahjong game I have been wanting... on my limited income, that was a huge splurge... but I deserve some relaxing fun time too...

Mahjong is a great game. Very relaxing if you skip the versions with timers :)

I can turn the timer off on this one @Deadman.... so I can just get my old brain to look for matches with out my shoulders being hunched and breathing rapidly....:laugh:

If its on your chores list it's not 'something nice for yourself', it's something you think you have to do.

:sneaky: You clearly haven't seen my chores list! :hilarious:

Seriously, though, it was roughly equal parts hedonism & responsibility. Because I have a tendency towards extremes, keeping everything in one place was a way I stayed -mostly- balanced in life.

Each day this week, I fed myself real, good meals.
Had my hair done earlier in the week and after work today, cycled to nowhere in particular - rode to feel the breeze and view the ocean.

Spent the whole week preparing delicious whole food plant-based gluten-free vegan vittles for myself (and everyone else), soaked in a hot bath with epsom salts last night, then rubbed down with a castor oil/frankincense blend, except on my feet and legs, which got a magnesium gel/coconut oil/peppermint blend. Did that so I could move a bit more freely this morning. Already feeling like I might need another one mid-day. I really could benefit from including more stretching within my days, other than stretching my limits.
