Foot Spa

How do your feet feel or look? If they have seen better days, why not treat yourself to a lovely foot spa and massage to revive them and make them look and feel good?

Eat Good Food

You know the type—the food that makes you feel something, that makes you close your eyes, savor each mouthful, and enjoy the experience. Most people eat food simply because they need to stay alive. But good food feeds your body and soul and is an experience, not just a meal. It could be a decadent chocolate cake, a perfectly cooked steak, or a beautifully presented sushi platter.

What this meal is will be unique to you; it can be something homecooked, something you ask someone to make for you, a friend’s specialty dish, a takeout, or a meal at an exclusive restaurant. Whatever that dish is that brings you peace, and everyone has one, find it and enjoy it for some TLC that supports your mind, body, and soul.

Full Body Massage

If the thought of someone kneading your body with their hands isn’t for you, you can find an automated full-body massage chair that gives the same experience.

But whether you opt for a Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, aromatherapy massage, or shiatsu massage, it’s entirely up to you. However, it’s something you can do if you’re looking for a way to pamper yourself.

Go Shopping

If splashing the cash (responsibly, of course) is your chosen therapy activity, take yourself out to your favorite retailers and shop until you drop or until you’ve reached your budget. It can be an hour around Target; it can be pursuing Costco if you wish, or you prefer a more upscale boutique option that can fit you out in a new outfit or pair of shoes. It doesn’t matter. You don’t even need to spend money the simple act of window shopping can beneficial in this case. Go to your happy place and shop to get that buzz and come back feeling pampered and indulged from indulging in one of your favorite pastimes.

Run A Bubble Bath

A bubble bath is one of the best and least expensive things you can do to give yourself a pamper session. Set some time aside to really allow yourself to switch off, treat yourself to some of your favourite bubbles or luxury bath products and plan to spend some time soaking and doing nothing. To make this experience more enjoyable, consider playing your favorite music, lighting scented candles, or even adding a glass of wine to the mix. Or something that you enjoy such as watching a movie on your device, reading a book or finally starting that show everyones been talking about for ages.

Whatever it is, take the time to do it while having a soak in the tub. You’ll feel much better about it.

Book A Trip

It can be a week-long vacation, a day trip, or even just a plan to be somewhere else for a few hours. It doesn’t actually matter that the simple act of booking and then taking a trip can be a great pampering experience and bring back some pep to your step.

Make it even more special by combining it with special events like a birthday or anniversary for maximum impact. Take your girls and do a girl’s or boys’ trip for a few days, take the kids, or go somewhere upscale you’ve been wanting to go but never dared to splash out on.

Buy Yourself A Gift

If the phrase ‘pamper yourself’ automatically invokes images of presents, then lean into this. You can pamper yourself by buying yourself a little gift, especially if you’ve been neglecting yourself for a while. It doesn’t have to be a big purchase; even a small treat like a fancy coffee or a new book can make a difference.

It can be a big purchase you need, like a new bed, or something you want, like a new pair of shoes or a cell phone. If you’re able to go out and purchase something that will make you feel good, even if it’s a coffee from a really good coffee shop. Make plans, savor the purchase, and allow yourself to really enjoy it.

Sleep

Sleep is the ultimate gift you can give your body. If you’re feeling run down then making an effort to get a good night’s sleep can be exactly what the doctor ordered and make you feel like a million bucks again.

Make sleep a special event. Buy new bedding or pillows, invest in creating the perfect bedroom ambiance, book a hotel for a night so you have undisturbed sleep, ask the parents to take the kids, or have an afternoon nap. It doesn’t matter what you do, but sleep can be the ultimate power boost and reset button, and if you really want to give back to your body and feel better again, then you need a good night’s sleep.
