In the evening when you're tired, turn off the computer, tuck yourself into bed with a good book, maybe put the blankets in the dryer for a few minutes before
When you wake up, step outside onto your front porch and just feel the cool air in your lungs, put extra sugar in your coffee, or maybe less than usual
When you're stressed, lay down on your bed with relaxing music playing, light a scented candle and let yourself breathe
If you're walking down the street but you really feel like running, don't stop yourself
In the evening when you're hungry, instead of getting up to grab some sandwhich make a meal just for you, have it be just what you want, hot or cold or displayed as a funny face
When you're sick, let yourself sleep all day, make yourself exactly what you know will have you feel so much better, hug a teddy bear!
Give yourself permission to ask the simplest or most complex of questions all of the time
See the world in a different way, in every colour, shape and sound
You don't have to answer the phone this time (unless you really have to)
Or don't! If that sounds lame, or you don't want to. But listen and really give yourself what you want in every way.
I'm not trying to be poetic or anything. But listen to your child and deepen your every experience with so much comfort and care that the child in you has a full belly of love, and that everything you do for your innocent self sends grateful loving back to you
The only way to love yourself is to feel loved by yourself
P.S Add to the list :3
