Don’t be afraid to be nice to yourself!

Don’t be afraid to be nice to yourself!

By Gabby Reece

Sometimes just taking an extra 10 minutes for yourself (if you can find it) after a shower can make you feel so good. Take those few minutes here and there whenever you can to pamper yourself. I know it’s hard to do, and we always have something more “important “we can be doing. I haven’t had time to get a facial so this nice little mask just to clean my skin after weeks of feeling dirty and sweaty from training. I feel better already just with this tiny little pick me up.

Here’s more quick and easy ones I enjoy:
-Foam roll your entire body top to bottom. You can even do it while watching TV
-Pop in the bath with some Epson salts instead of the usual shower
-Stretch
-Light a candle
-Scrub your body in the shower with a loofah toes and all
-Drink a relaxing non-caffeinated tea
-Take five maybe even 10 very deliberate and deep breaths
-Rent a movie you want to see just because
-Paint your nails. Nothing beats pretty fingers and toes
-Read an uplifting book or article for a few moments. Get away from the noise of all the negative news that’s everywhere around us
-Get a good snuggle in with someone you love
-Meditate, pray, or just sit still for a few minutes
-Go sit and watch something in nature. Sunrise or set, walk in the park, watch the birds, whatever is in your area

Sending you all a sliver of peace.
Best, Gabby
