It bothers me a lot that mental health and self care have become so intertwined with consumerism.
Our mental health is too valuable to cost so much.
If you are looking to do something for yourself in the new year that won't break the ban, I have the resolution for you.
This year, BE NICE TO YOURSELF FOR FREE!!!
Accept that you aren't, and don't have to be, perfect.
Recognize your effort regardless of the end result. Even in a loss, find the victories.
Give yourself all the compliments you wish others would give you.
Give yourself the pep talk that you give friends when they need a pick-me-up.
Stop comparing yourself to others!!!
Being nice to yourself is more than trips and hobbies and fine dining.
That stuff has its place, but what good are expensive toys and fancy meals if you are still riddled with insecurity and low self esteem?
Be nice to yourself for free.
Happy new year.
