A gift to myself

Because we deserve it

By Saso ElsaiedPublished 2 years ago 3 min read

A gift to myself is something that I don't often think about but truly cherish. It's the act of showing myself love and appreciation in a tangible way. Whether it's treating myself to a spa day, buying that book I've been eyeing for weeks, or just taking a moment to do something that brings me joy, it's all about taking care of myself and nourishing my soul.

I've come to realize that it's important to prioritize self-care and self-love in my life. It's easy to get caught up in the busyness of daily life and forget to take a moment to check in with myself and see what I need. So, giving myself a gift is a way to remind myself that I deserve to be happy and to invest in my own well-being.

It's not always about material things, either. Sometimes the best gift I can give myself is the gift of forgiveness, acceptance, or grace. It's about letting go of self-judgment and embracing who I am, flaws and all. It's about being kind to myself and treating myself with the same love and compassion that I would offer to a friend in need.

In the end, the greatest gift I can give myself is the gift of self-care and self-love. By taking the time to nourish my mind, body, and spirit, I am able to show up more fully in the world and be a better friend, partner, and human being. So, here's to giving myself the gift of love and compassion, every day.

Giving myself gifts is something that I make sure to do regularly. Whether it's something big or small, treating myself to something nice always brings a smile to my face. I believe that I deserve to reward myself for all of the hard work and effort that I put into each day.

Sometimes, my gift to myself might be as simple as a delicious cup of coffee from my favorite café or a new book that I've been wanting to read. Other times, I might splurge on something more extravagant, like a spa day or a weekend getaway.

No matter what the gift may be, the act of treating myself with something special is a way for me to show self-love and appreciation. It's important to acknowledge my own worth and to celebrate my accomplishments, no matter how big or small they may be.

Ultimately, giving myself gifts is a way for me to prioritize my own happiness and well-being. It's a reminder to myself that I am important and deserving of good things in life. And in a world that can often be stressful and demanding, taking the time to show myself some kindness is truly a gift that keeps on giving.

Encouraging myself has become second nature to me. I have learned the power of positive self-talk and how it can truly impact my mindset and outlook on life. Whenever I face challenges or setbacks, I make a conscious effort to boost myself up with words of encouragement.

I remind myself of my past successes and how capable I am of overcoming any obstacles in my path. I focus on my strengths and remind myself of all the times I have pushed through difficult situations. This helps me build resilience and confidence in myself.

I also set small goals for myself and celebrate every achievement along the way. By acknowledging my progress, no matter how small, I continue to motivate myself to keep going. I believe that self-encouragement is key to staying motivated and inspired to pursue my dreams and goals.

Furthermore, I surround myself with positive influences and support systems that uplift and encourage me. Whether it's friends, family, or mentors, having a strong support network has been instrumental in keeping me motivated and focused on my journey.
