Ever have one of those days or weeks where you just wish you could drop everything and take some time for yourself? While it may not be completely practical to skip town on the fastest plane to the Caribbean for a week or two (wouldn’t that be nice?), there are plenty of things you can do right in the comforts of your own home to ease your stresses and catch your breath, even if just for a little while! Here are 4 things you can do to spoil yourself at home.
Get Comfy
Sometimes the best way to relax is to put on your comfiest pajamas, light a fire in the fireplace, and snuggle up on the couch with a good book or your favorite movie. Turn your phone off, power off your laptop or tablet, and just enjoy some peace and quiet.
Soak It Up
Shut the bathroom door, run the hot water, light some candles, turn on some soothing tunes and slip into a luxurious bubble bath or steamy shower. Let all your stresses run down the drain as you take a soak in the tub.
Leave The Cooking to the Pros
If you’re normally the chef in your household, take the night off. Step out of the kitchen and order in from your go-to Chinese restaurant or pizza joint.
Get to Bed
Don’t you wish there was a rollover plan for all the naps you didn’t want to take as a child? Just thirty minutes of reading, napping, watching TV, or day dreaming from the comfort of your bed will give you a whole new lease on life.
We all have moments of feeling overwhelmed. Finding little ways to treat yourself can make all the difference, though. Take the time to care for you, so that you have the energy to care for everything else in your life.
