What We Often Forget.
Having a relationship with yourself before you can have a relationship with anyone else.
1. Take yourself on a date.
Often people don't take the time to get to know themselves---they don't get to know their likes and dislikes---they let someone else tel them how to live their lives
2. Pick up a hobby you’ve always wanted to learn
This can help with improving your self esteem because it's something that can give you a sense of accomplishment. I can be something where you're being creative like knitting a sweater or painting a picture or even being active in team sports like shuffle board, football, or basketball
3. Go for a walk.
Gives you the opportunity to become one with your thoughts. tobegin to exercise and see what nature has to offer or as the saying goes---stop and smell the roses.
4. Laugh… a lot!
Learn to laugh and have fun---that is not to take yourself so seriously. Laughing helps you to feel good when you're sad because it affects the chemicals in your brain which helps to change your mood.
5. Introduce affirmations.
Tell yourself that you love you and that you accept yourself for who you are---no one is perfect and everyone has flaws. Do this first thing in the morning and every evening before going to bed
6. Spend time with like-minded individuals
join groups where you and the other members are working towards the same goal and help each other to succeed. When you find other people with the same interests it'll help you love and respect yourself even more.
7. Start a Gratitude list!
Be happy with what you have and appreciate it. With this list you'll learn to appreciate what you have even more

Often times, we feel guilty for taking some time off to do things for ourselves and the things we enjoy. Thanks for the reminder Davida.
