You’ve sacrificed so much of yourself, your time, and finances for the ones you love. Now it’s time to consider you! There’s nothing wrong with being selfless, but it’s also very import to be self-giving. When was the last time you treated yourself to quality “me time”? When was the last time you indulged in all the things that make you feel great? If you’re still thinking, stop! Start now. Here are gifts to give yourself, that just may change your life:

(1) Optimism-mediation leads to positive attitudes. A few minutes out of the day will show its benefits in just a short period of time. Think of all the good in your world and be at peace for a moment.

(2) Serenity-be calm. Did you know foods such as yogurt have probiotic cultures (microorganisms that when in a host offer health advantages) which help minimize stress? Eat and be happy!

(3) Creative Thinking-surround yourself with the right lighting. Overhead fluorescents are harsh, compared to a lamp with an incandescent lights. Vision is key! When stimulated correctly (both literally and figuratively) great ideas come forth.

(4) Belonging-chicken noodle soup is not only a comfort food, it helps the psyche feel socially connected. This winter, curl up with a bowl and gain a sense of satisfaction with your relationships.

(5) Fitness-5 grams of dark chocolate can provide physical changes like those caused by exercise. Guilty pleasure not so guilty!
