Caring for ourselves? Ha! Who has time for that? While, I have to say that caring for myself is an uphill battle most days, the rewards I reap from loving me are exceptional! Looking for love outside of yourself is sooo last week. Three’s company and me, myself and I are extremely useful when you put them to work! Here are a few tips to give yourself a boost on any given Monday. 1. Start with positive thoughts . Wake up. Snooze. Groan. Snooze. Wake up 20 minutes later and curse yourself on the way out the door. Does this sound familiar? How does cursing yourself serve you? Forgiveness is not just for outsiders, but for you too. Make room for forgiveness when you make little mistakes. No one will die if you’re a little late, and your day will be a lot better. 2. Treat yourself like you want to be treated. Do you notice that we save our nicest demeanor and grace for strangers and elders but sometimes treat our friends and families with carelessness? That’s bad enough but it doesn’t stop there. We save our worst criticism, our meanest self for our very own. If you wouldn’t say it to a friend or elder, then don’t say it to yourself. It isn’t constructive, and it isn’t helping so stop being mean to you. 3. Acknowledge greatness. Whenever someone is rude to us or pisses us off, we often wish that we can let them know how rude they are. We have this incredible urge to tell negative people where to go and how to get there. Or at least I do! Instead of judging ourselves, let’s draw some inspiration from this! Try this: when someone rubs you the right way, and leaves a positive feeling

7 Tips to Boost Your Day Each day is hard work. We have to get up, run here and then run there all

while keeping a smile on our faces letting everyone know that we’re okay.

Caring for ourselves? Ha! Who has time for that?

While, I have to say that caring for myself is an uphill battle most days,

the rewards I reap from loving me are exceptional! Looking for love

outside of yourself is sooo

last week. Three’s

company and me, myself

and I are extremely useful

when you put them to

work! Here are a few tips

to give yourself a boost on

any given Monday.

1. Start with

positive thoughts. Wake up. Snooze. Groan. Snooze. Wake up 20 minutes later and curse

yourself on the way out the door. Does this sound familiar? How does

cursing yourself serve you? Forgiveness is not just for outsiders, but for

you too. Make room for forgiveness when you make little mistakes. No

one will die if you’re a little late, and your day will be a lot better.

2. Treat yourself like you want to be treated. Do you notice that we save our nicest demeanor and grace for strangers

and elders but sometimes treat our friends and families with

carelessness? That’s bad enough but it doesn’t stop there. We save our

worst criticism, our meanest self for our very own. If you wouldn’t say it

to a friend or elder, then don’t say it to yourself. It isn’t constructive, and

it isn’t helping so stop being mean to you.

3. Acknowledge greatness. Whenever someone is rude to us or pisses us off, we often wish that we

can let them know how rude they are. We have this incredible urge to tell

negative people where to go and how to get there. Or at least I do!

Instead of judging ourselves, let’s draw some inspiration from this! Try

this: when someone rubs you the right way, and leaves a positive feeling

they’re awesome and that act will reflect positive vibes onto you as well.
