Hey you deserve it!

Today there is so much conversation about the rise in narcissism in today’s society, it is even being referred to as the narcissism epidemic. The internet, mainly social networks, infatuation with celebrity media, easy money, and the shakeup of values and morals in the household could be to blame.

Whoa there, this is not what I want to talk about, I want to talk about the positive results that come from you, yes you , when you think about yourself.

You know that old saying you can’t love someone unless you love yourself? It might not be 100% true but even if it is 80% right we really have to start loving ourselves more. How can you do that? Take care of yourself.

Make 2013 About You

Eat better.

Try to eat more super foods, less foods that contain trans-fat, more raw vegetables and fruit, drink more water, use less salt.

Sleep better.

Get to bed on time so that you can have those 7-8 hours of good healthy sleep. Clean up your bedroom, you will sleep better in an uncluttered room. Buy new pillows. Try not to eat a heavy meal late in the evening. Drink a cup of soothing herbal tea before you go to sleep. Relax!

Exercise.

Take a morning or an early evening walk. Join a gym or an exercise group, buy a workout DVD. Whatever you decide on, fit it into your schedule and make it part of your lifestyle.

Take care of your skin.

Did you know that we are not getting any younger? Really I am telling you the truth. Age and the environment affect our skin in so many ways.  It becomes drier, the wrinkles show more, our eyebrows droop, our lips crack. There are simple ways that you can fight back age by making sure your skin is well cleansed and that those dead skin cells are removed to open up to fresh ones, rejuvenate your skin with the right oils and vitamins, nourish your skin and you will look and feel younger.

Take a bath.

When was the last time that you slid yourself into a hot lavender-scented bath. Just to have YOU time?

Visit your hairstylist.

So many of us let our hair down, figuratively and don’t find the time for a regular trim, cut or style. This year, make a change. Get rid of that same hair style that you have had for the past 5 years (add some complexion complementing highlights too).
