Life has been crazy, stressful and downright difficult. I’m holding on as tight as possible and trying hard to manage my emotions even if it feels like it’s overwhelming.
We’re a week into my birthday month and 18 days away and there’s so much going on that my plans for a month long celebration have all been put aside. That’s completely fine, I know many who are able to do it and I applaud them, for me since my birthday tends to get lost in the holidays, I haven’t really celebrated it much in quite a while. I’m always appreciative of starting a new year but it’s always been almost an afterthought in the midst of the holiday hustle and bustle.
I planned to celebrate more this year but life has gotten in the way and although I won’t be keeping those plans, I do plan to find some ways to treat myself well. What that will look like, I’m not quite sure and I’m not even sure it will happen before or by my birthday, but that doesn’t matter. Things have been hard but I’ve been doing the best that I can and reminding myself of that is important.
There are so many ways that I can treat myself, and so many things that I can do to take care of myself so I’m adding working on that to the list of many things that I’m going to do, even if it’s really hard when you know you can’t have what it is that you want most.
How do you treat yourself? What should I add to my list?
