RE-HEAT
No, I’m not talking about leftovers.
I’m talking about your LOVE life.
YOUR love life with YOU. Yes, your love of SELF. It may sound odd but who else can do it better than you can? And, no It’s not selfish, it’s necessary.
You have many, many relationships that you’re involved in on a daily basis, yet the most important relationship-the one with yourself- may be in need of some attention.
Taking care of yourself used to be much easier. Have you taken yourself for granted? Has life become too hectic to do something loving for yourself?
Where did that fire go? Is there nothing but a flame left? Has it dwindled down to sparks or are you dealing with ashes at this point?
Can you…will you…give yourself some attention?
Just for today….Just for a few minutes, can you have some private alone time in front of a mirror. You may have heard about, or done something similar.
Can you look yourself in the eye, give yourself a big ‘ol grin and say “HI?” It’s a good start. See where it goes from there.
You can decide to check in with yourself for 1 minute every day. Your faithful mirror will be there waiting for you.
One day, perhaps you can say. “Have a great day!” “What great things can I be a part of today?” or even “ I LOVE YOU ______” (make sure to use your name). You can even blow yourself a kiss!
You decide how long you need and what you want to say.
Keep it simple. Keep it special. Keep it going.
Until we meet again…Have a HAPPY day!

Hello. Thank you. I hope you are enjoying the A to Z Challenge as well. As I practice this I now look forward to alone time with me. My last date was sitting on the couch in silence with a great big smile on my face and eating half a box of girl scout cookies…lol. It wasn’t the healthiest decision. It was a luxurious indulgence that I rewarded myself with. Do you have any special plans for your date?

Terrific post. It’s a lot easier said than done, though, isn’t it… Takes practice.

self-analysis, introspection, self-esteem, all important factors in living a happy and confident life, but more importantly, to be content with who we are, what we look like and how we feel about things
Thanks for the post!
