Personal Pampering Taking Care Of You

When was the last time you actually did something nice for yourself that only included you? Or better yet what is your meaning of Personal Pampering do you know? Pampering is something that brings you joy. Something that “makes you happy” causes you to become pleased. Personal Pampering is an inside job much different from grooming going to get your hair or nails done, it starts from the inside, getting clear about what brings you joy is a self-discovery process that is a critical step toward integrated self-care. Pampering yourself is about creating more meaningful moments in your life and a deeper relationship 

with yourself. Ask yourself a question what brings you joy give yourself at least five minute to reflect, and then begin writing out your list of what brings you joy. Include activities and experiences from your childhood. Remember the distinctions between bringing you joy and making you happy. Look back over your list what does your list say about you?  I found that when I did this exercise in my workshops, most people have never asked themselves this simple but profound question. The things you did as a child how can you incorporate them into your adult life, like having 

a Tea Party inviting all you favorite Girlfriends, going to the movies, walking in the park, going to New York to see a play. Embrace change and try something different today. Integrate pampering into your lifestyle, you will be so glad you did.
