From a thermometer to our favorite news website, most of us women or moms love providing ourselves with things, and recommending them to relatives, co-workers, neighbors, etc. We aim for the impossible, travel heaven and earth to visit a sick friend, go to a friend’s birthday party, and take our son to his favorite football game. However, we forget about ourselves, about our deepest inner needs & end up empty, devastated, and frustrated. It’s true that helping others makes us feel good and we feel accomplished yet that’s not all life have to offer us. There is much more out there. There are poetry clubs, swimming lessons, gyms, beauty salons, etc, etc…and for nature lovers nothing more peaceful and relaxing that seating by a lake and just contemplating its beauty. Ok, but I have no time you might say. Well, the choice is yours. Are you going to live most of your life purposeless, using your last strength for someone else’s project or are you going to start your own project as well? Believe me, people around you will respect the choices you make because they’ll see a woman who is confident, who values herself, and who has power to say “no” when she needs rest. Pamper yourself & you’ll be able to pamper others.
