A month of treating myself to something nice

pandanfe July 20th, 2023

20th July, 2023

I want to do something nice for myself everyday for a month. As a result, I'll be updating this post every day with nice things I do for myself. I'm sharing this because I don't want to leave in between feeling discouraged. I'm hoping for warm community support.

End date: 20th Aug, 2023

Thank you in advance!

I'm so proud of you for taking care of your mental health!! also some suggestions for those who are curious:

- do a face mask

- listen to your favorite artist

- buy yourself flowers

- read a book

- sit in the sun and have some "lizard time"

- play with your pet, or visit a shelter

- take yourself on a little date to the bookstore, coffee shop, bakery, etc

- doodle, sketch or draw on some paper-- it doesn't have to be perfect, just make it the way you want it

- take a warm shower or bath

- watch a movie or show you loved from your childhood

- read a book from your childhood

- listen to a podcast

- go touch grass

- put on a pretty dress or clothes and have a photo shoot

- make jewelry

- go to the mall and try on a bunch of clothes, even if you don't buy any

- plant some flowers

I love you all and Jesus loves you too <3

@Banerjee2006

That sounds interesting Banger, reading books and exercising are fun. I myself completed "Verity" by Colleen Hoover recently. It was a nice thriller romantic book. Which book are you currently reading and what kinda exercises do you prefer?

And for the exercises, I have started doing some aerobics 😉😃

@pandanfe Absolutely ! I'm hoping that I can finish it within this week. I also have the 2nd part - "It starts with us". After finishing this book, I'll start reading that one.

Banerjee2006 August 3rd, 2023

@pandanfe Just finished reading "It ends with us today". It was a really really great story, it discusses some pretty important topics. My favourite quote is - "Just keep swimming" 😃😃

@Banerjee2006

That sounds fun buddy. I'm glad you enjoyed the book. Are you gonna take break in between before you start another book "It starts with us" or do you directly start other part?

1 reply
Banerjee2006 August 7th, 2023

@pandanfe Well yeah, I took like 4 to 5 days break before reading the second part - "It starts with us"

And the good news is - I'm currently on chapter 20 on this book. 😆😆😉😊

Yea, it was kinda my first book from him. How's the book "It ends with us"?

Aerobics exercise sounds fun to try... I used to do yoga earlier but now not even that and with it now i'm left with almost 0 flexibility

@EddieL

I agree. I felt safe before i started this journey of self-love. I'm giving myself a better treat and now I'm more confident, have higher self-esteem.

This is such a good idea! We love self-care. I hope this month leaves you feeling relaxed and positive. Some ideas are treating yourself to a nice meal/treat. Buying something nice for yourself is also good!

@Banerjee200 are you talking about the character from the book "It Starts with Us"? I've not read the book but what according to you made Theo standout among all?

@pandanfe

Hi! It's great to see you make this plan to keep track on your feelings every day! It's definitely going to be just a great way for you to be aware of the things that bring positivity and warmth to you among your surroundings! In fact, I think this is a good habit that everyone should at least try to develop to make their lives work better for everyone. It might not be the best way to make your attitude nicer, but it absolutely will work consistently as long as you keep a positive, encouraging, and confident sentiments to the challenges you might face in your lives. I hope you have a nice day!!
