Last-minute gifts you can give yourself
Instead, let's talk about last-minute gifts for yourself that you can give today, on Christmas, all weekend and beyond:
1. 10 minutes of yoga or your favorite physical activity.
2. Reading from your fave inspirational book. 3. Giving yourself a compliment. 4. Giving yourself a hug (cheesy, maybe; comforting, yes). 5. A quiet few minutes to yourself. 6. A letter of appreciation to yourself. 7. Reading from the Bible or other religious text. 8. Meditating. 9. Taking a long bath or shower. 10. Forgiving yourself. 11. Thanking your body for being there for you, no matter how hard you are on it. 12. Making yourself a promise to be kinder, especially to your body. 13. Buying yourself a spa card. 14. Journaling or buying a journal (No matter what kind of day I'm having, browsing at Barnes and Noble always cheers me up, especially when I'm picking out journals). 15. Going out for coffee, and reflecting, if you like, on anything
this year, what you're thankful for, excited about, what you'd like to change, what you love. 16. Buying a CD or listening to your fave music. 17. Getting up early on Christmas morning and taking a walk. 18. Sleeping in. 19. Writing out inspirational messages to yourself. They can be words of wisdom, words that say something positive about your body, your favorite quotes, motivating messages, scripture, excerpts from the Torah. 20. Praising yourself for something you did recently.
