You may feel a strong sense of self-worth today. As a result, you might be in the mood to purchase something nice for yourself. You might want to invest in an item of value, or you might simply want to give yourself a small gift. In addition, you might be thinking about other ways you could treat yourself nicely. You could enjoy some self-nurturing or engage in soul-soothing activities. Simply think about the ways you could treat yourself with love and kindness, and make an effort to engage in interests you enjoy. Since self-worth comes from within, with self-care you will be strengthening the feelings that can help keep your positive mood going today.

Engaging in nurturing activities helps us to feel loved and appreciated. Many of us devote the majority of our attention to nurturing and caring for friends and loved ones, and we might feel that being kind to ourselves is a selfish, unnecessary act. In reality, treating ourselves kindly will make us happier, more balanced people. The more attention we can devote to ourselves, even if it is in small doses, the more optimistic and happy we will feel. We then carry this happy attitude into every other activity we engage in. Making an effort to love and nurture yourself today will encourage a peaceful mind-set and an optimistic outlook that will enhance every area of your life.
