Whether it’s a special day, or you’ve reached a goal—take time for you
Taking a few small steps to celebrate all that you do can help you:
- Enjoy life along the way
- Find gratitude and positivity
- Increase confidence
- Mark the completion of an event or milestone
Here are 10 ideas to help you get started:
- Explore somewhere new in town with a staycation
- Write yourself a nice note and keep it nearby for a quick pick-me-up
- Gracefully accept compliments—say “thanks” and feel great about the good that others see in you
- Take a spin through some old photos and enjoy thinking about happy memories
- Try a new activity—like learning a sport, dabbling in a hobby or taking a class
- Do something you’re good at and revel in the talents that you have to share
- Create a playlist of tunes that can help you power through work, making dinner or exercise
- Relax with a good book, a favorite show, or a massage (available through George Wellbeing at the Dayton YMCA downtown Minneapolis).
- Treat your body well and do something active to help keep up your health
- Spend time with your favorite people
