It’s the most wonderful time of year to put everyone at the top of your gift-buying list. However, sometimes you have to do things for you. Here are a few personal pick-me-ups to treat yourself this holiday season.

  1. Love Who You Are – Make a list of all the things you love about yourself, from that birthmark to your zany sense of humor! Don’t hold back!
  2. Turn A Mental Health Day Into Something More – Treat yourself to a “stay-cation” right in your own home: ditch the Blackberry, laptop and bills and take a day off where you act like you are on vacation. Read, stay in bed, eat your favorite foods and refresh!
  3. Don’t Blame Yourself – Many of us are constantly saying “sorry” for things that are beyond our control or not our fault. Stop blaming yourself, and therefore stop letting others blame you.
  4. Indulge! – There’s no need to head to the spa; find ways to pamper yourself at home. Soak in a long bath, enjoy a do-it-yourself facial, or paint your nails a color that makes you smile.
  5. Make Every Day A Special Occasion – Look good, feel good. Stop saving that favorite, most flattering ensemble for a special occasion. Give an “average day” a little extra pizazz by throwing on an outfit you love.
  6. Visualize A New You – Make a New Year’s resolution to not worry about New Year’s resolutions. Instead, try making a vision board.
  7. Learn Something New – Commit to learning a new activity, picking up a new hobby or cultivating a new skill. Broadening your horizons will have lasting benefits, and you will experience a reward unlike that of any material possession.
  8. Take A Night Off – Let someone else be the chef for the night! And even let them clean up. You deserve it
  9. Let It Go – If there is something that has been plaguing you for a long time (guilt, sadness, regret, etc.), find a way to release yourself of that burden. Identify the problem, become open to happiness and let it go.
