Adulting is hard. For most adults, the ultimate gift you can give them is a day of rest but for most of us, a day free from working is really not free now is it? We get caught up in chores so that our day ends too fast. So apart from getting a whole day without having to wear a bra, what other small things can we do to pamper ourselves? Some of the things we view as small are actually rewards, so how can we make them more rewarding?
1. Binge-watch your favourite show – with the hustles of life you might forget to watch your favourite shows. Select a show that makes you feel some type of way, and catch up with your favourite show, comedies, action, or whatever tickles your fancy.
2. Succumb to that craving – Watching your weight might be extremely important to you but while we live, let’s live. Ignoring a craving does not get rid of it. You only temporarily silence it. So, if you have been craving sweet or spicy, meat or sweet, indulge once in a while.
