The world only gets one YOU! And we think that’s definitely something to celebrate.
We’re talking about the top 7 ways you can celebrate yourself every day.
7. Unleash Your Inner Child
"In my soul, I am still that child who did not care about anything else but the beautiful colors of a rainbow."
A tale as old as time! But what does it mean to unleash your inner child?
Ever notice that as adults, we tend to take things in life so seriously?
We know, it’s hard not to. Life is serious!
But in order to carry the weight of all of our responsibilities, we need to let go every once in a while, right?
How do I unleash my inner child?
- Pump up the tunes!
- Put some pep in your step
- Release the belly laugh
- Let your imagination run wild
6. Take a Break
“Take a break! Run away with us for the summer, let’s go Upstate!”
Any Hamilton fans in the building?
Anyway…
One of the best ways to should your mind and body you love them is to give yourself a much-needed break.
- Lay down for a nice relaxing nap.
- Read a few chapters of a book you love.
- Binge-watch Netflix.
- Bake your favorite dessert.
5. Send Yourself Flowers
Who says you can only get flowers after a date or for your anniversary? Girl boss yourself all the way to the sun and order yourself flowers!
(Trust us, we’ve done it—what a feeling).
Plus, you’ll be supporting a local business!
4. Treat Yourself
No need for a special occasion!
- Take yourself out for ice cream or a slice of cake!
- Order your favorite takeout for dinner and have it delivered, so you don’t need to go out.
- Take a mental health day from school or work.
- Take a relaxing aromatherapy bath and moisturize all over.
- Take yourself on a date.
- Plan a stay-cation.
3. Write Down Everything You Love About Yourself
Pull out a piece of paper and make a list of at least 20 things you love about yourself—physically, mentally, and emotionally!
- What kind of friend are you?
- What’s your favorite physical trait?
- What’s something you’re good at?
- What do people love about you?
- What’s your proudest accomplishment so far?
You get the gist!
It’s amazing how uplifting it is to acknowledge all of your positives traits!
2. Add Something That Makes You Happy to Your Everyday Routine
Do you love listening to music? Crank up the tunes while you’re cleaning the kitchen or cooking dinner.
Love being outside? Set aside some time every day to go on a refreshing walk.
Besides increasing your daily happiness, incorporating something that you love into your everyday life will:
- Increase motivation
- Improve your mental health
- Increase productivity
- Provide a fresh outlook
- More energy
- Better relationships
When we take the time to focus on ourselves, we have more energy to devote to our responsibilities and those we care about.
1. Make a "Love Yourself" Playlist
All the songs that make you happy, all the time!
Research has found that listening to music can trigger a release of dopamine to the brain.
Dopamine is a kind of naturally occurring happy chemical we receive as part of a reward system.
Now here’s the really interesting part: Dopamine is not only released during peak musical moments but also when we anticipate those moments. Kind of like our brain is rewarding us for knowing a really fire chorus is just about to drop!
