Be Your Own Valentine
Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day…don’t close this window! I’m not here to offer you yet another article on how to get your crush’s attention, the perfect exercises to re-ignite your relationship or include a recipe for a decadent dessert topped with red something or other.
Instead of offering tips on how to love and spoil someone else for V-day, I’d like to challenge you to do the same for yourself! Work, school and family obligations can often put taking care of yourself at the bottom of your own to-do list. Well, not this week! We’re taking a little cue from Cupid and spreading the love in our own lives.
Get a bit of peace and quiet by running yourself a candlelit bath after each of your Booty Camp sessions this week. Put your physical fitness in the forefront by ordering the Ultimate Home Edition 2. Try a little mindful meditation either as an opener to your day or as a means to wind down before bed. Or, simply pop in one of your favourite feel-good films and put your smart phone on silent for a couple of hours.
Whatever you choose as a means of lessening your stress, increasing your physical fitness and improving your overall well-being, try to keep food rewards out of the equation. Too often, we equate taking care of and pampering ourselves with eating – often reaching for foods that are indulgent and filled with fat and sugar, for that matter. Well, put down that bowl of ice cream or glass of wine. This week, your rewards can’t be found in the fridge or pantry.
As always, let me know how you do! I’d love to hear all of your Valentine’s week ideas.
Always living with passion,
Sammie
