We are always taking the best care possible of all those around us. Whether at home, professionally, the environment, the politics, the education, the faith, even to total strangers we give our most intense attention. Not to mention, our partners, children, parents, family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, our pets, those who give us their services, even those we called our not so liked ones. Of course it is really wonderful to do so. We are the “Energizer Bunnies” with our neverending commitments to all those who share our existence.

Now, let us back up and re-evaluate. If we do not take care of ourselves with the same enthusiasm and even better, with the same total dedication, how can we really take care of everything else? We need to start nurturing our inner and outer selves with total devotion. No we are not narcissistic, nor self-centered as it would seem. We are taking care of ourselves to better serve those around us.

By this I mean allow time for you. Time to grow in all aspects of your life. Time to educate yourself better, to eat better, to grow spiritually, to learn to love your body as the grand temple that holds your unique and superb spirit. To say no to superfluous things that rob joy from your life. To eliminate those things and issues that belittle you or make you feel inferior, much worse, that make you doubt yourself. There are toxic people, situations, things that extract the positive energy from your life. Those energy vampires that take from you, not jointly allow each other to grow and thrive.

We have the power to change it all. To make the best of it all. To become that infinite being that is so unique, so special, that there is no other in the entire existence. Below I list various ways and tools to aid you in your journey to self-discovery, growth, and enjoyment.

- Take time to seriously enjoy those things, songs, places, people, pets, and others that truly matter to you.

-Make time for yourself. Yes, sacred time, whether to paint your nails, read your favorite book, or tend your garden

- Allow yourself to feel pretty, yes, feel pretty.

- Get that nice dress or jeans, that special hat, that shirt and shorts that make you feel young and attractive at any age.

- Do not be afraid to look in the mirror. Admire your best features, yes, you are beautiful or handsome.

- There is no one like you, you have uniquely designed features that make you truly extraordinary

- Go out by yourself and enjoy your favorite cup of coffee, tea, wine, dinner, lunch, breakfast.

- Eat healthy, eat well to nourish your body and soul. Truly enjoy every bite, taking time to experience the flavor of the food. Allow yourself the time to see the colors, smell the food or drink. Feel the texture, allow it to make you feel good and fulfilled.

- Explore new places to visit by yourself or with a special person which mutually bring out the best in each other. They can be a friend, a significant other, or even just your pet. Try at it all by yourself.

- Enjoy your silence at a park, restaurant, the sea, a library, book store, somewhere in which you feel really good.

- Start that hobby that for so long you didn’t for lack of time, encouragement, or lack of guts. Enjoy it fully, give it your best. Allow yourself to really get into it, enjoy it to its fullest potential. You never know, it may become a way of earning a living, while doing what you love best.

- Enjoy nature, really experience the beauty in it. Notice the tree in the avenue which you passed by for thirty years, yet did not notice its presence. Hear the birds sing, by rally paying attention and noticing how many are there as you stop under at tree on a red light, even in the midst of rush hour traffic. Feel the breeze caress your face, let it speak to you its secrets, its wisdom of the ages. Lay next to a tree or place your favorite chair as you basque in its marvelous shadow. Let is bring you its peace. Go out to your yard at night and experience it in its darkness. You will be amazed by all the things you will discover. The stars, the moon, the crickets and other inhabitants of the night. Let it bring you its beauty.

- Dance as if no one is watching. Twirl, jump, and shake to your favorite tune. Allow yourself to become one with the sound of the music, the lyrics, the feeling of the song. Float with a ballet, feel the music touch your soul.

- Discover your city as a tourist. You will be amazed of how many new places that can be part of your private life, and yes of your shared life with family and friends. Go in a discovery or even geocatching tour.

- Go to the beach and act as a child allowing yourself to play ball or with the sand. Create a sand castle allowing yourself to dream along. Really experience the water, the sea let it cleanse your body and soul with its mighty force and energy. It can cleanse you of noxious energies lounging around you. Allow yourself to blend with it letting it purify, and replace the negative with positive recharged feelings and enlightenment. Yes, the openness of your inner child plus the cleansing of the sea water can create wonders for you.

- Create a “Me” space where ever you are. You can create a corner in your bedroom, even a room all of its own, a drawer at work, your glove compartment in your car, a “mojo bag” in your purse, a place in your backyard, even in a public park where you can find a rock or tree where you can always go to when you want to find peace, tranquility, and joy.

- Learn to meditate, to go inside yourself, to find your most inner voice and divinity within. Allow it to speak to you. Listen carefully to its message. You will learn so much from your own wisdom inside.

- Develop new skills or polish existing ones, as to feel empowered in your profession.

- Learn that assertiveness does not mean being less feminine, nor being aggressive. Stand up for your rights in a diplomatic, yet empowered way.

- Learn to say No, it is a very important word in the dictionary.

- Start a Resolution Journal, a Life Journal, a Empowerment Journal… journaling will allow you to express yourself without restrictions, to see established patterns in actions or situations in your life. They will allow you to real self-motivation and growth. Whichever journal you decide to take on, will help you dwelve deep inside your soul, your feelings, your potential, your dreams, aspirations, your pains, your triumphs, YOUR LIFE!

- Treat yourself to a massage, a facial, a manicure or pedicure, in other words a nurturing service that will make you feel revitalized, beautiful, pampered and cared for. You deserve it.

- Sleep late on a weekend, hang a DO NOT DISTURB sign on whatever room you happen to be in, even if it is the kitchen. Allow yourself to enjoy the magic of its smells and wonders. Enjoy long baths or special showers. Read a novel in a rainy afternoon.

IN OTHER WORDS LEARN TO LIVE LIFE TO ITS FULLEST. SO YOU CAN GIVE THE BEST TO NOT JUST YOU THEN, BUT TO ALL THAT YOU CROSS PATHS IN THIS MAGNIFICENT EXISTENCE ON OUR LUXURY PLANET: EARTH!

I have intentionally repeated the word allow in many places. This is because, we must allow ourselves to be, to experience life in its fullest potential, to be the best person that we can be. Only by nurturing ourselves seriously, can we give ourselves to all others with whom we so lovingly share our existence with. So allow yourself time, space and caring for you.

Yes, you are a wonderful spouse, mother, daughter, friend, neighbor by doing so. You will be more centered, calmer, more rested, recharged, happier, prettier.

Don’t you think you would give them a better you this way? I DO NOT THINK SO, I KNOW SO. Go for it, you won’t be sorry you did.
